    15 hours/month is… pretty awful. An avid reader (or listener, in this case) will chew through that in no time at all. Another thing that concerns me is payouts. Spotify is notorious for having atrocious payouts to creators. I wonder how this carries over to their audiobook offerings.

      Yeah when I’m driving a lot for work I could burn through that in 2 days…and not even be able to finish out the second day before I have to change to something else 😂

      Another reason to make me glad I setup audiobookshelf.

      And if you listen at 1.5x speed, does that just burn your 15h faster or can you fit in more time?

      It’s an interesting idea, but I think the only way I’d use it is a “try before you buy” and go out to Libro to make the purchase. At least that’s the only way I could realistically see using 15h/month.

      That’s half an hour a day. Most people are not going to rip through that. Sure you and I would, but most people that’s probably adequate.
