If I can get through fifty pages or so per evening, even a hefty book goes by quickly.

Even at faster playback speeds, though, an audiobook still takes most of us longer to get through than the same book read in print. If you have time to sit down and read something, you should be looking at a printed page. The audiobook is an inefficient use of your time unless you need your eyes elsewhere.
