I know you love to hord audio books, but I sure hope you do have them backed up somewhere because having them downloaded all to your phone would make for a not very good situation if something ever happened to it. I also love audio books, but I am way too lazy to download them from multiple sources so for some years Audible has pretty much been my only source and by now my Audible library is a little over 1,100 books. But for me that is what the cloud is for, I have access to any of the books in my Audible library, but except for a few which I am listening to or planning to listen to, they are just living happily on Audible's server and if I want to listen to something again I can either stream it or tap the download button and less than a minute later it's done. But to each their own, I am in this sense also too cheap for having them all on my phone because ethen I'd have to spend hundreds of Dollars more to get a 1 Tb phone where for me the phone with the smallest capacity is just fine. So there you go, cheap and lazy, but it just means I can spend my money for whatever other toy or at times useful item I would like and lazy means I have time for work and other stuff.
