Questions

How long is the average audiobook?

Most adult novels run about 8.5 to 11 hours unabridged. Long fantasy books often pass 40 hours: Wind and Truth is over 62 hours.

Where do these audiobook lengths come from?

Each length is the running time on that edition’s Apple Books listing, checked 3 October 2026. The same recording has the same length in other stores.

Why does the same book have different lengths?

Different narrators read at different speeds, and some editions add introductions or notes. Classic books often have several recordings, so each page lists the main unabridged editions.

How do I work out the length at 1.5x?

Divide the length by 1.5. Every book page shows the time at each speed, and the audiobook calculator works for any length you type.
