I'd say most evenings I get in anywhere from 1 - 3 hours of reading, sometimes more if I'm really into what I'm reading. The speed I read at also is affected by how absorbed I am in the book. To give you an example, two books I just read back to back by the same author, both about the same length (5000ish locations on the kindle). Same genre, both light reading and fluff. One took me 3 days. The other I read in one sitting. I find I lose myself in my 'book' much more readily now with the kindle since I don't notice that I'm progressing through the book, I just read and suddenly I realize that my progress bar is at 90% and I've been reading for 3 hours and didn't even notice time fly by! With a paperback my hand would get tired, I'd lose my place when turning pages or I'd be more aware that I'd been reading for so long I'd made it half way through a 400 page book and stop to do something else.
