Oh for sure. I listen with wireless buds with a huge button (Jabra Elite 4, sadly no longer made) so pausing/unpausing takes almost zero effort.

For particularly dense passages I'll just slow down the audio as needed as well.

Even for fiction I find myself starting more slowly as I get to know the characters, and then speeding up as I want to.

Regarding the button control, if others are looking for similar, I found that a bluetooth audio control device intended for mounting to motorcycle handlebars (so, water resistant, big buttons) works well while I'm doing dishes to manage audio going to my bluetooth hearing aids.

I'd wondered if something like this existed, wanted it on my last roadtrip. Thanks!
