I see. Honestly had forgotten that playback speed can be increased. I might look into it.

But he makes a good point; sometimes you get a very good reader, who has cadence and inflections and such that actually improve the experience. It's like being told a story, rather than someone reading to you. It can be worth listening to it at 1x in such an instance.
If it's a really good reader then the performance become a key part of the enjoyment, much like a great actor can really enhance the play or movie they're in.
If it's not a great or interesting performance then I just use the audiobook app to speed up the playback to the point where I find a good balance between speed and intelligibility.
