For some reason, it looks like as if I'm reading a book slower than I read webpages. It's a bit like drinking a coke (reading a website) and drinking whisky (reading a book) I guess...
I think their sample is far too brief to give any sort of reliable reading speed. They told me I could read GWTW in a bit over eight hours. I don't think so! Even with it being extremely familiar to me after multiple rereads, I'd never be able to read it in eight hours, nor would I want to.
