In this episode, Manuel is joined by David Gil, host of The Edge Podcast, to go over some of the books we've been reading lately.  We cover the pros and cons of the various book formats, eBooks, audiobooks, physical books, as well as some of the books that we have read lately that we feel have made an influence in our everyday lives. 

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.
