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. |
Hmm.. you have invoked a brand new process of thoughts. I agree with you, with the growing age, one can not rule out the possibility of slowing down in every action, including reading, and certainly if we consider the gradually decaying eyesight, a couple of minutes extra spent on every chapter will considerably affect the overall speed. Thanks for your views.
