I agree about the poll needing more granularity in the higher end. That would probably make it look quite a bit different - there are people who read 61 books a year and there are people who read 200 books a year.
I read, when I read for winding down after work (which is all reading, all the time, of complex things, and having to go into detail and read every word and make sure I'm absolutely certain how each sentence is put together), for the plot and the characters. I don't read for the words. I can appreciate a well-written book, but to me, when I consciously notice how a book has been written, either because it's full of grammar mistakes and typos or too "pretty" - when the words draw attention away from what is happening - then that is not a book for me, not at this particular stage in my life.
And that pretty much means I skim at times (if I find myself staring at the screen for several minutes and realise I haven't taken in any of it, I'll skip that part instead of trying harder, because there's only one reason for that and that is being bored by it), and I don't spend time going back to re-read in order to appreciate something.
Sometimes, very rarely, I go back after I've finished, to look for specific passages or quotes again, but that happens very rarely indeed.
As for ADE page counts, in my (admittedly limited, as I rarely look at page numbers in ADE - I only use it to download epub books) experience, they tend to be considerably lower than the page counts for the same books in any other edition. It's probably the most obvious with books aimed at younger readers, as paper editions tend to have slightly larger print.
Last few books I've bought as ADE ePub & checked:
Chimes at Midnight, average-length genre / urban fantasy novel - ADE page count is 319, paperback page count (according to Goodreads) is 346 and Kindle page count is apparently 368.
For Darkness Shows the Stars, average-length YA novel - ADE page count is 293, hardback page count is 402, paperback page count is 407.
Seeds of Rebellion - average-length middle grade series novel - ADE page count is 380, hardback page count is 512, paperback page count is 528.
The Luminaries, non-typical, doorstopper size Booker prize winning novel - ADE page count is 753, hardcover is 848 pages, paperback is 832 pages.
So there is a clear difference, yes. For a more "dense" novel, a hundred page difference is a good two extra hours of reading for the "average" reader (if we take ~50-60 paper book pages an hour to be the sort of speed that a regular reader who is neither particularly slow or particularly fast would manage - going by what people say here).
In other words, someone who goes by ADE page counts may say for example that they get through a 320 page book in eight hours, while someone who read the same book in paper will say that they get through a 400 page book in eight hours.
When I talk about "pages", I go by paper books as that's something most people are still reasonably familiar with - and yes, I'm aware they can differ a whole lot, so I usually go by hardcover or trade paperback pages, where there tends to be more white space and the words aren't crammed together in the tiniest font imaginable in order to save paper.
