The Clip Zip speed up really is chipmunk chatter. But the speed increases on the OverDrive and Audible apps are phenomenal. At 1.25X I can't detect it and even higher speeds don't sound like Alvin. If you have a smartphone it would be worth downloading the Audible app and giving it a try.

And yes, it can be the clincher for some of the longer books. Sooner or later, I'll get sick of even the most enthralling book once it hits 20 hours, say. This is why my Clip Zip is mostly gathering dust.
