I have found myself reading more quickly (not literally "speed reading") since I got my kindle and I have the control over font size, and the amount of text that appears on one screen and margin size.

I have found that I absorb more of the content more quickly when I have only that part visible on one page, tap to read the next page and same amount of text. I used to linger for hours in a printed book with tiny font, and a large amount of words on it (I don't have any reading disorder to my knowledge). Even the old trick of getting a sheet of paper and hiding all but the line I was currently reading didn't seem to do it for me.

My Kindle usually has my chosen font, the widest margin, a couple blank lines between paragraphs, and often a larger size font (6-7 at minimum, but larger when I am reading at night and don't want to wear my glasses).
