I think I could read a little faster on my eReaders because the font was a little small and columns were pretty wide on that site. But I also think the comprehension was skewed upwards because multiple choice (guess) tests have always been fairly easy for me. There's usually only two answers that are close so, even if you're not sure, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Sometimes I get lucky. If there had an essay test at the end, I sincerely doubt my reading comprehension would have measured that high.

That's pretty amazing. So how many books do you read a day?
When I'm in my "reading binge" mode I read quite a few books in a month, but I do it by blunt force, not skill.
