Ah, good point! I make heavy use of the speed function, especially with nonfiction. It's fantastic the way you can listen to something faster without it's going all chipmunk on you.
I'll add that audiobooks mean I exercise much longer than I would without. My waterproof MP3 player in particular was a life-changer, but it even applies to going for walks.
