We start our conversation talking about how we’ve transitioned from the traditional book format to eBooks and Audio Books. Which format we prefer for each particular type of book or genre as well as the pros and cons of each of them.
How the closing of a number of book stores has also affected our reading habits by not being able to go to the store to be browsing through books and titles the traditional way before deciding which one to buy.
