I know it is quite old school to listen to audio books on CD with all this streaming and online downloadable books but I like it.
Still get audio books on CD from Library

Audio books read too fast for me. I like to take my time w/ books & digest every passage slowly.
However, I agree w/ you on your method. I check out from the library music CDs to listen to on a CD player, DVDs to watch on a DVD player, & paper books (although it seems like e-books never really took off). I also have a portable radio I listen to as well.
The problem w/ streaming services, it's a la carte, so that's why I check out DVDs.
Music CD's, I just got into. I got sick of YouTube reccomending me the same music over & over.
Paper books, I get eye strain from screens easy. It's just easier to read on a page.
Radio, I like the talk shows & selection of music. I had got it b/c our office didn't allow Wi-Fi for employees & I don't have the patience to download stuff onto my phone.

That's true. Plus, once you buy one, it just sits on your shelf for years until you maybe read it again. Libraries often have a good selection, but many times they're missing something you're dying to read in particular. I guess you can always sell them or donate them?

I just donate some business books I had. I do have some history books on my self. I am thinking that the next place I live I will not have WIFI.

I listen to digital audiobooks from the library and streaming services. I increase the speed. I’ll get physical CDs if the title is unavailable and I don’t want to buy it.
I always have a large amount of physical books checked out too. There’s something comforting about the stacks.
