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?

Newer kindles and audible can do this, but it's a little glitchy and expensive, and you have to buy both the audio book and the ebook. There is a discount buying them together, but still a lot.
