Sounded great at first, but 15 monthly hours is pretty terrible TBH. Not even an hour a day?

It’s what. A book, maybe book and a half per month? Like cool that it’s an option but it’s not really something makes a difference for me.

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.

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.
