I'll still pick up a copy of the CD just to have nearly everything in one place.
One of the cool things of the series is that it really is multi-dimensional. Unlike say Honor Harrington which is all fairly straight forward military Sci-Fi/Space Opera (well the novels, some of the shorter fiction is not), the Vorkosigan series can run the gambit from romance, military sci-fi, action/space opera, mystery, etc. If anything, the series is probably drifting more often towards mysteries than anything else (well you never know, I haven't read Cryoburn yet.).
