Not that it was overpriced, it's over 11 hours long, and beautifully done. But close to the cost of the DVDs. So my 1 and only from itunes.

Audible audiobooks also seem expensive - 3 - 4 times the cost of the kindle book, so though I notice them and am tempted, I stick with the book. I've never thought to download from our library, but based on the comments here, I think I will explore them.
Our local library has a good selection of audiobooks, here in London (UK). Jeremy Irons is wonderful in Brideshead. I have heard him read Lolita and French Lieutenant's Woman as well. Absolutely amazing. Stephen Fry's rendering of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin is available as free download here:
