Never having listened to an audio-book in my life, I'm afraid I can't help
you there, Will. But I sense that this whole area is a problem, and I've
come up with a possible solution.

Why not join me in a letter-writing petition to the manufacturers of these
"audio-books", and demand that they release "printed" versions (on paper)?
That way, you could easily control the "speed" at which they could be read
by simply reading faster, or even skipping whole pages/chapters. And think
of the benefits to the hearing-impaired!
