Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of audiobookspeedcalculator.org (the “site”). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

About the Service

The site provides free tools and information for audiobook listeners, including the Audiobook Speed Calculator, the Libby Speed Calculator, the audiobook speed chart, an audiobook length list and listening guides. The site is free to use and does not require an account.

Results Are Estimates

Calculator results are estimates for planning purposes. Actual listening time can differ because of how each app applies playback speed, chapter breaks, pauses and rounding.

  • Audiobook lengths in our lists are approximate and can vary by edition, narrator and platform.
  • Library loan periods, renewals and holds (for example in Libby or OverDrive) are set by each library and can change.
  • Speed and comprehension guidance is general information, not professional, medical or educational advice.

Always check the details shown in your own audiobook app or library account.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the site in any way that breaks the law or harms other people.
  • Try to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site or its hosting.
  • Copy the site’s content in bulk, or scrape it automatically in a way that burdens the site.
  • Present our tools or content as your own, or remove notices of ownership.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Audiobook Speed Calculator is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from reliance on calculator results or site content, such as a library loan expiring before you finish a book. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

Changes to These Terms
