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 tend to default to 1.1x but often switch to 1.2x after an hour or so.
If the reader is slow (seems to happen more often with old recordings) I can go to 1.5x.
In a single instance I went with 2.0x because the narrator was so so so slow.
