I am still old-school and prefer reading over video. Of late though, if I am buying business books, they are ebooks. (Specifically, I prefer Kindle, even though I read them using the Kindle app on my iPad)

The only category of books I still purchase in hard-cover are the classics; I just like having them around.

I like written word best, and e-reading tops the list. I do like audios and videos, but these sometimes take too long to get to the point. I can read a transcript in 1/3rd of the time it takes to listen to an audio or video; so if I’m trying to get information quickly, written word is the way I choose.

Thanks for the great feedback. With all these different viewpoints, I’m even more convinced that content format needs to be tailored to the end user’s needs.

<a href="mailto:r@calevans“>@calevans You’re right–the electronic version of a classic just doesn’t feel the same.

@sgsrecording Isn’t it great we have choices for different learning styles? Definitely go with your strength.

@dr-rachna-jain I read for the speed factor, too. I love it when someone gives me the choice to read the transcript of their audio or video.

@joanmuschampfagnani It sounds like you’ve found exactly what works best for you (or at least what works best outside of a live workshop setting).

@trudy I think you’re right about reading before bed unless you can’t put the book down.
