I'm currently reading the Perry Rhodan series. They are about 60-70 pages each on my PRS-900. During a normal week i'm reading 2-3 per day. That would be about 700 - 1000 a year. Not to mention the other books, newspapers, online news and books i need to read as part of my jobs.
Speaking of normal books (300-400 A5 pages) i can't believe someone's reading 300 a year. Maybe if you are retired and there's nothing else you are doing.

When I say I read a book, I mean what a normal person would consider a book, not a short story or novella, lol.
It's easy for me to read a book or two a day. All it takes is reading speed and time. I read fast and don't have a TV connection, out of choice. I don't think it's a big deal. Most people spend hours a day watching TV. If they spent that time reading, they'd probably pick up speed and get through books much quicker. If you're reading for leisure, though, who cares how quickly you read? Reading is supposed to be enjoyable; it's not some kinda hotdog-eating contest, lol.
