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? (self.books)

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?

I tend to default to 1.1x but often switch to 1.2x after an hour or so.

If the reader is slow (seems to happen more often with old recordings) I can go to 1.5x.

In a single instance I went with 2.0x because the narrator was so so so slow.
