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?

Depending on the narrator, somewhere between 1x and 1.2x.
