Thanks to audiobooks, reading's popularity still strong in America

That said, I hear that slightly sped-up non-fiction audiobooks are an efficient way to absorb their contents. Does anyone here have experience with that?

I personally can’t recommend it. It may be the way my brain is wired, but I read two non-fiction books during a walking commute, and I have only the barest recall of their contents. Full disclosure: I suck at reading non-fiction, so I have to read in 10-page chunks, then write up a short summary, to have any hope of retaining the information therein.
