Can I use this calculator if I listen at different speeds for different sections?

The tool assumes a single, consistent playback speed throughout the book; for variable speeds, calculate each section separately and adjust the overall plan accordingly.

What if I only have 30 minutes a day to listen?

Enter your daily listening time limit, and the calculator will output how many days it will take to finish the book at your chosen speed, plus the speed needed to hit a target completion date.

Does the calculator show time saved compared to normal speed?

Yes, it computes the difference between the time needed at 1x speed versus the adjusted speed required to finish by your target date, showing the hours reclaimed.

Is the result affected by the format of the audiobook (MP3, M4B, etc.)?

No, the calculator works with total listening time entered by the user; format does not impact the speed or duration calculations.
