Why are audio books so slow?

It's driving me crazy! The pace of the books are so slow why? Podcasts seem to be more real time - more of a discussion but the books I'm finding hard work. Is there any way to speed them up?

Which platform are you using? You can usually listen in 1.5X or 2X

Look for abridged works rather than the full books? BBC radio adaptations are usually pretty good at giving you the plot of the book without the 'dull' bits.

Oh no - not abridged books! Listen to the whole thing in real time. Books are not just about plot. If the reader is bad, abandon it. But don't insult the author by skipping stuff.
