I would take a closer look.
Your life is different than it was 2 years ago. There may be more interruptions when you read vs. 2 or 3 years ago. While I agree that there may be some differences between the mediums for some people, you are literally taking twice the time to read a book now. I cannot fathom that it is a font change or due to it being on an ereader unless there is some serious vision problem going on.
I read faster at a smaller font than my normal font, but my eyes get blurry much faster, so I try to stick to the font that is currently best for me. It probably adds a couple of minutes per chapter extra to the reading.
