Victor Coleman,
Charity Administrator
"Not for me. Nothing beats the feeling of learning off paper."

Mel Franken,

"It does make sense for students to keep all the books they’re not going to read in one device, rather than lugging a big heavy bag around."

Jennifer Barkley,
Office Manager
"If there's one thing I learned as an English major, it's the value of a great book whose pages you can touch and feel and tear out just to spite the next reader."
