Kindle Audio Books Format

Is this book really a book?

I just heard about this book “The Chopin Manuscript,” but it looks like it’s only in audiobook format. Does anyone know if this comes as a printed book that can be read as opposed to listened to? I did see that amazon has a Kindle edition and it didn’t say anywhere that it was audio as opposed to ebook, but I find it strange that borders, amazon and my local public library do not carry this as a regular printed book. Does anyone know if it comes in a printed copy? Can you buy Kindle books and read them on your computer if you don’t have a kindle or ipod touch?

It is available in Audio CD, not printed book, as you can see it here:

However, it is true that the Kindle version is much cheaper:

But unfortunately, you cannot read Kindle books on your computer:

So if it is affordable, you can consider to buy the Kindle. I like my Kindle 2 very much because I can buy books on it quite a lot cheaper. I’ve just answered a question related to this, see if it helps:
