Mary Renault's wonderful first entry in her  Theseus duology is on sale on Kindle at the US Amazon, priced at about $1. Works internationally, as I got it with VAT to supplement our paperback. The book is The King Must Dieand it is very, very, very good. Renault's prose is terrific, and her ability to present a remote and sometimes alien mindset is really remarkable -- Theseus sees things through a lens of superstition and tradition that leads to interesting choices.

I'd recommend pretty much every other historical novel of hers, truth be told, but particularly her "trilogy" concerning Alexander the Great: Fire from Heaven, The Persian Boy, and Funeral Games.

I'm really tempted to buy some of these but I know myself and that I have no patience for actually reading anymore.

Give me audiobooks or give me death.

Ask and ye shall receive -- sort of.  BBC Radio has just happened to adapt The King Must Die into a two part radio drama. Might be worth a listen. Second part releases next Sunday, I think.
