> I’m able to listen to some books at 2.5x but it’s always the same kind of book: non fiction, business related, those books that in the end you think it could be a blog post rather than a 500 pages book. Don't get me started on those books... They're essentially a result of a market failure - since the readers are not willing to pay for blog posts, but will buy books, the writers are incentivised to dress up their blog posts as books... This is enromously wasteful, as millions of people are wasting their time reading the filler necessary to reach an acceptable book size (typically a minimum of 150 pages).
