They came in big noisy plastic cases shaped like large books that held several tapes for long audiobooks. They were made of cheap, thin, disposable-feeling plastic rather than something you’d want for permanent storage. It’s hard to explain what I’m talking about but they were a rather unique experience. They were similar to the plastic clamshell cases used by VHS movies but much larger.
Oh I remember. I borrowed my friends collection of hitchhiker’s guide read by Douglas Adams and copied every one.
Kept them all in a shoebox for years!
I would fall asleep listening to them, then the next night before bed spend ages rewinding and checking and rewinding to find the spot I last remembered listening to before falling asleep. To then fall asleep within 5 minutes and repeat the whole process again the following night.
Good times.

I remember them, and you described them perfectly.
I forgot those things existed. What a flashback.
Hmm I see. I think I got a set of felt-tip pens in a book-shaped plastic case like that once.
