Reading speed is also heavily affected by font size and type. The font size (even when enlarged) and type in that test is not conductive to me reading fast.
Actually, for some reason, on an e-reader, I'm slower than I was on paper. It can also be because my nystagmus (which makes focusing on small details harder) got worse.
I set the Count Pages plugin to 2100 characters per page. This is 350 words per page.
I timed my reading speed at 30 pages per hour with that setting, or 0.5 pages/min.
That comes down to a reading speed of 175 wpm.
I'm sure I was much faster previously, but I'd have to actually read a paper book to be sure. Maybe I've gotten slower there as well, especially if said book has very small fonts.
