I know Audible has good prices but I refuse to go on a contract basis. I never joined book clubs and I won't pay a monthy fee when I only want a few books. It would not be cost effective for me.

I'm a huge audiobook fan also - would never have survived several years of a 4 hour per day (round trip) commute without them. I download most of the books I listen to from the library, but fill in with Audible.com. I really like Audible, their membership plans are great if you intend to buy consistently (averaging a minimum of one book/month), but I can see how they wouldn't be the best source for an occasional purchaser. Amazon.com occasionally has some great sales on audiobooks, and they have a lot of their titles on mp3 CDs (I will also only buy unabridged mp3 format). A couple of years ago I picked up about 7 or 8 titles from them that I'd been looking for (on mp3 CDs) for less than $8 each.
