I have some podcasts I'll listen to at 1.2x speed but it's usually because I'm trying to get it to properly fit a given drive. I have one relatively frequent drive that I can nicely fit 3 episodes of a daily podcast at 1.2x speed, but otherwise is too long for 2 episodes or too short for a third at 1x speed. For audiobooks though I stick with 1x so I can fully take in the content.
For reading I really only read in bed now, so it takes me about 2-4 weeks to finish a book usually
I agree with everything you said. Podcasts are shorter and so I don't want to have 8 minutes left to finish later, because I just won't. But I'm listening to 30-hour books, and I'm going to have a listen the way it's meant to be listened to.
I also only read in bed, and I basically do a chapter a night, sometimes two if they're short, and sometimes half of one of they're long. I do try to find natural stopping points, I can't stand being in the middle.
