Like the OP, I'm finding myself spending more and more time reading on my nook color. Though the LCD is slightly less comfortable than my eInk Sony ebook, having wikipedia a touch away is really too great to explain. I've read many, many books over the last weeks. One or two a week (last week, Jules Verne' "le testament d'un excentrique", the week before Jack London's" people of the abyss" and Verne's "la maison à vapeur").
And I still have a huge shelf of paper books to read :) Thinking of it, I probably spend most of my time reading something anyway (I read tons of magazines, blogs, HN, reddit, etc. too). I'm a real book worm :)
You say that you're reading about 25 pages per hour, that seems really slow; are you sure you aren't sub-vocalizing? Do you by any chance make the words sound in your head (or even your glottis)? This is often the main reason why some people have altogether slow reading and poor understanding.
