Me either and I read pretty fast.
ebooks are different than pbooks and many people read slower on ebook readers.
I read fastest on my laptop, slower on pbooks, slowest on Sony reader.
I don't like reading books on my laptop although I can often read a book in an hour. Same length book pbook 2 hours, and probably 4 hours on reader.
(typically light reading 150 - 200 pages paperback format)
I only read fiction books on my laptop when the formatting looks bad on my reader (ie to much line spacing, too wide margins, justified and I have read half of it in bed and am thoroughly annoyed) By that time I don't even think of pronouncing the words perhaps.
Just a thought that perhaps if you switched back and forth between the reader and the computer on the same book or three, it might change your reading patterns.
It is a mindframe thing I think as one (or this one anyway) generally only pronounces spoken parts in their mind.
Regardless I am sure you will love your new reader and perhaps forget to worry about speed.
It is not about the books, but the pleasure and relaxation. I have always suffered from the too many books too little time syndrome and am gradually getting over it.
