An epub file is pretty small. If that eats up the last of your data on the phone, you already need to clean things up.
But if you just want to be obstinate about it, get a $25 burner phone to leave in the truck as your book reader.
An epub file may be small, but an actual audiobook is not. Easily 300-400 meg per book, and some books will be over a gig.
One of the reasons we like the epub with a reader app over a giant audio file.
Of course, it's probably like the guy who goes on about 4k definition on a 25inch TV over 1080. A human actually reading it does add a little but generally very little.
