I don't consider myself a speed reader, but I read a LOT of books, averaging more than 4000 equivalent MMP pages a month. The trick to reading quickly with an electronic reader is to anticipate when you need to press the Next Page button so that you don't have to wait for the screen to refresh between one page and the next. Yes, you press the Next Page button before you read the last words on the page.

With my K1, I learned just when to push the Next Page button as I approach the bottom of the page, so that by the time my eyes have absorbed the last words, the page is already refreshing. The timing on my Sony 505 is different and I've noted that the page turn speed varies between .lrf and .epub books. So, when I move from one reader to the other, it takes me a couple of pages to adjust to the turning speed for that book/reader combination.
