If you don't have a CD/DVD player that can handle them directly, the MP3's can still be played as MP3s on your favourite computer, or transferred to your preferred iDevice or MP3 player. But £34.00 seems a bit pricey. (Look for a used one? Get a trial US Audible membership and get it for free?)

That's an idea
. I have a full price Audible membership - it just isn't available on Audible UK. Not sure if I can sign up for a US membership? And not sure I really want to for a one-off.
