I love that idea, I think I’ll just give everyone on my team the option. I used to be exclusive digital (via kindle) but had recently had trouble with the highlighting dilemma. Thanks for the tip Thea- downloading the tool now.

Thea,

Awesome tips. I do find that I'd like to have some books in all the formats! There are positives and negatives to each.

I like that idea of highlighting in the kindle app and then capturing them with clippings.io<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__clippings.io&d=DwMFaQ&c=l6wIEjFZ2r6NRbgTeJOW4HMPY8FVASe8l9IlzHzRYYs&r=MsWaXmuHmOqn2U9gcS6eKTv5EqpnVPMWuHjpYplo_c4&m=9ks6mEQj6ZWtMswQDh3jm2HITMwit_N_dy2l91kYTS0&s=SQPXqW20nXWigqBjXOW49wClHxHqBGFDxg6TpEVw_0o&e=>. I hadn't heard of that before.

Hey Bob, great question for the group.

I often get the audible and the kindle, so I can listen and make my way through books in the car or running, but it syncs with the kindle, so I can pick up and read too - and do the highlighting I like. (And then I use clippings.io<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__clippings.io&d=DwMFaQ&c=l6wIEjFZ2r6NRbgTeJOW4HMPY8FVASe8l9IlzHzRYYs&r=MsWaXmuHmOqn2U9gcS6eKTv5EqpnVPMWuHjpYplo_c4&m=9ks6mEQj6ZWtMswQDh3jm2HITMwit_N_dy2l91kYTS0&s=SQPXqW20nXWigqBjXOW49wClHxHqBGFDxg6TpEVw_0o&e=> to transfer my highlights into Evernote. voila!)

For some books, I really want the physical book. I want to sit with it without technology in the way. Pema Chodron's When Things Fall Apart is one I bought in hard copy recently. I have White Fragility on order as well, even though I'm halfway through the audible.

Big hug to you all!

Hey Bob!
We were given the choice of how to receive the book - Kindle, Audible, or hard copy. I like to make notes, underline, and dog-ear pages (to the horror of many, I know), so I prefer the print version. I also like being able to grab it off a shelf for reference or to share.

Subject: Book Format Preference

Attention: This message originated externally.

Barton,

When you receive a book from your company, do you always get an actual book? Would you prefer to be given the option for what format you get the book? I find that on my long drives I can listen to an audible book and if I'm reading before bed, the kindle version is way better. If someone gives me a book I find that I end up buying it as a kindle or audible version.

I'm wondering if I'm unique in this? I'd like my team to read/listen to some books but I don't want them to have to buy it in their preferred format.

Thanks all!

Bob
