A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yep, just looking through my collection of audiobooks, and most are about 10 hours long.
8-12 are my lighter reads. Some of my favorites are 25-30.
I do do double speed, so I wonder if that ticks twice as fast on there. But 15 hours a month is pretty bad.
Edit: I just got an email from audible. I've listened to ~20900 minutes (348 hours) in 9 months (38.5/month) on there this year, and I've used Scribd and Libby way more. Obviously I'm not typical, and supporting me isn't reasonable. But since they sent that the same day I made this post I thought I'd add it.
There's also the possibility that they're the only service out there that doesn't let you control playback speed. Or that they take the most restrictive of playback speed and length of book so people who listen at slowed down speed are screwed too
