I'm not going to bother with the test since the results would probably be skewed. When I normally read, unless the book is a real cliff hanger, I get distracted easily and/or my mind wanders (I have ADD) so I may read fairly quickly in spurts but lose ground between those spurts while my mind checks out for a bit. My best time and setting for reading is before I go to sleep got the night. I have a book on a 32" TV screen located where I can comfortably see it from my bed (with the pillow folded to prop up my head and shoulders) and the room lights turned off so I'm not as likely to be distracted. My mind will still wander a bit but not as bad when there are distractions to trigger a mental side trip. Playing quiet music while reading in bed also helps to avoid distractions.
