Yea I understand why a lot of things are digital now, I'm just not a fan of it personally myself. I would be totally fine with a 3 or 4 disc audio story. Depends how long it is I guess. I have some that if I recall are in the 3 hour type range & it was all able to fit on 1 disc. If I can find a torrent of Out of the Shadows in the future I'll just grab that unless a physical copy shows up someday. Like I've mentioned above, I'm not a huge tech person so I'll be staying away from Audible & having to download Apps upon Apps in order to get something off it. There is a method of downloading the mp3 but they wanted you to download their special Audible Downloader, then load up ITunes (which I also have never played with) & extract it from there somehow. Just seems like a major hassle to one that never plays with any of that stuff. My internetting is all done on a laptop, I've never used an IPhone in my life yet.
