335 wpm 3/3 on questions, when reading leisurely.

Strange. I count pages at 2400 char/page. The average length per word is (IIRC) 6 characters, so 400 words per page. Using the time to read on the Kindle, I read 30 pages per hour, consistently. That would be 12,000 wph, or 200 wpm.

The Kindle's timing is correct. If I start a chapter and it says 27 minutes, it is, +- 1 minute. I've checked it against the clock, numerous times. Something is fishy here.
