You can do both.
Personally, I pay monthly. I pay something like 14.95 a month and I get one audiobook credit to use to 99% of all books on their site. THis is a great deal because if you look at the site some books are over 50 dollars so they really only cost you 14.95. I used to get the 22 / month plan and you get 2 audiobooks a month. The best thing is you keep the books even if you cancel the subscription you will always have access to your collection. You also get 30% off any al a carte purchase if you are a member. Look around sometimes they give away a free MP3 player with a 1 year subscription.
THe best thing is the way it works with my iPod. If I am listening to a book on my computer and have to stop it to go deliver. I just pause the book sync my ipod, take it to my car, plug the ipod in the tape desk in my car and start at the exact place i left off. I believe it is called bookmarking. You cant do this with CD/s if you eject your CD you loose your place. Most audiobooks on audible.com have chapter markers too. Anyway if they ask for a name who refered you, use cadenine, you might get another discount, i dont know if they do that anymore or not.
I agree with you on the narrators. Frank Muller was my favorite, George Guidall does a good job but just isn't Frank. The good thing is George has an older voice which goes along with the Gunslinger getting older as the story progresses. I believe George started the series with "The Gunslinger" Then Frank Muller took over from 2-4 then he had a motorcycle accident and lost his ability to speak! He wasn't even able to finish my other favorite series "Left Behind"
I also suggest " The Talisman" and then its sequel "The Black House" also narrated by Frank Muller YOu will see many correlations to "The Dark Tower" in it. It seems to stand in the middle of all his books.
Look at the turtle of enormous girth on his shell he holds the earth.
