    “the 15 hours customers get free with premium equates to two audiobooks” Is the average audiobook really that short!

    For eragon it would takes months to finish.

    The hobbit is 10 hours.

    Think most of the books I’ve listened to have been over that length, but I don’t use Spotify. Self hosting for the win. No time limits in prologue

      They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.

      Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.
