I think I read up on the higher end. IIRC there was the Staples test where I read 418 wpm according to that test.
I do suspect I read faster when I'm really interested in a story, rather than just reading something random.
Books I don't like take forever until I bail. Books I enjoy end too quickly.

I don't know, but I doubt that there's much difference. Hubby and I can talk about the same books, plot line, back story, character traits and such from a book I've read and one he's listened to and still seem to have 'read' the same thing.
I'm not saying it's all the same, but I think it's just different ways of processing the same information.

I read them totally differently. I 'hear' them in my head at a slower speed. Probably because I'm trying to actually learn something (Upgrade my firmware.
) rather than just 'experience' something that I may or may not remember all the details of once I put it down.
