With a very limited sample set of of three people (first husband, second husband, son) that I've tried to share/read the same newspaper or magazine articles with at the same time, and even one time, on vacation, share a book, back in DTB days, there can be big differences in reading speeds. I read pretty fast and the few times we tried it, I would go nuts waiting for the other person to finish and be ready to move to the next page. Sometimes I'd end up re-reading almost the entire page before moving on, so that would be a factor of 2 difference in reading speed right there.
So without being argumentative
, just commenting, and keeping in mind my small sample set - I still think there can be pretty big differences in reading speed.
