At what speed do you usually listen to your audiobooks? How often do you flip between the audiobook and the text, if both are available? (lemmy.world)

I'm relatively new to audiobooks and I noticed some of the defaults that I've fallen into. I like listening at 1.2x speed, and I'm finding that I like to use the audio version to get into the cadence of things. If I really like the work or if I'm in a hurry to get to the end, I'll switch to reading. How about you guys?

I only use 1x speed for audiobooks, i listen to them whilst at work and I want them to take up as much times as possible for me. I also don't want to miss anything if I'm concentrating a bit harder on a specific task I'm doing. Where as something like youtube I watched everything there on 1.75x speed because that is my own time and I want to get the info as quickly as possible.

I never read however. I've enjoyed getting into audiobooks because of the fact I find reading absolutely mindnumbing and it sends me to sleep so I'm glad to be able to experience all the good stories out there without having to read xD
