Common Questions
Do audiobooks take the same time?
Audiobooks are narrated at about 150-160 words per minute, so they often take slightly longer than reading with your eyes.
Should I learn to speed read?
It is useful for non-fiction and emails, but for novels and heavy literature, 'Slow Reading' provides a much deeper emotional experience.
How much should I read daily for a habit?
Start with just 10-15 minutes. Consistency is more important than volume when building a long-term habit.
Does the font size affect speed?
Yes. E-readers that allow you to increase font size and line spacing can actually help you read faster by reducing eye strain.
