Yeah, shockingly I managed to nearly fill the 8GBs on my Clara through careful inattention and diligently not removing books I finished.

Even so, this was filled with kepubs, not PDFs, comics or other large sized files. So audio could be a problem.

When I'm out and about and just want to read (no audiobooks!), sitting outside in Miraflores and drinking a cappuccino while watching the beautiful buses with their wonderful black exhaust fumes spewing into the air, then of course I'll take my ebook reader with me.
Of course, those black exhaust fumes could leave audio books as your onlly option. At least until they clear.

So, for me, it depends on what I want to do: READ OR LISTEN.
I've never gotten into audio books, but I do like to listen to podcasts and old time radio shows. And I've never once thought 'why can't my eink device play these?

I already have my ear buds and bluetooth speakers set to automatically connect to my phone. Plus I can cast to my smart speakers and there's Android auto in the car.

In what way would my Kobo improve on that experience?
