Many years ago( about 40) as a lark I went to a free Evelyn Wood speed reading class. It was about 45 minutes of promo and then teaching you one technique-such as scanning down the center of the page. They guaranteed that you would improve your reading reading by a certain amount by the end of the course. What was readily apparent to me was the fact that what they were really teaching was the more you read the faster you can read. The speed depends on the content and the purpose of your reading-i.e. technical material versus leisure reading. Also when reading for leisure it depends on what you are reading. An airport novel versus a piece of classical literature
That being said I think reading on a kindle or kindle app on my phone is somewhat faster because I use a larger font size to ease my 70 year old eyes. I don't have to do as much left to read scanning. This is my subjective opinion and has not been tested by me in any way
