I'm somewhat torn between the two, in the USA, the Jim Dale audio books are easier to get, but I'm told it is possible to get Stephen Fry version that will work in the USA. 

I think in some cases, Stephen Fry's voice is a little clear, which I appreciate, but at other times, Jim Dale is a bit more expressive.

Does anyone one know if you run into 'Zone' problems with the UK Audio Books? I think each zone uses a slightly different copy protection, so you can't by cheap CD/DVD in China and play them in the US or the EU. But I also think, though I could be wrong, that the US and the EU are different zones.  

I guess I don't really have to worry about it, it's not like they are going to run out of audio books. Plenty of time to think about it.
