Hi Everyone!
Last week I assisted one of our members who is dealing with a common struggle that seems to challenge some in our group. A pastor who thinks no one reads print books these days. So, I offered to email her some recent research reports about the status of print versus digital. I was very pleased to find a brand-new report that ought to make all of us smile. Most if not all of us can say we find these research results to be true in our churches and synagogues. For me, that title means 7-in-Ten Americans prefer reading print books.
Thought you would enjoy comparing these two reports. Last Wednesday evening I did a bit of my own research in my church. All of the college students I asked enthusiastically responded they prefer print books. Same was true for all the other adults. However, if you have the money and the manpower, add ebooks to your collection.
