I used to purchase at book stores and the like for my grandmother who was legally blind. She had an old cassette tape player that she used because she knew where all the buttons were. Could probably find one at a yard sale for next to nothing if that is the media you decide to go with and the library does not have one available. For myself, I would get them on both cassette and CD when I had a long commute. Love books on tape (or which ever media works best for you!).
