I tried that article, and clocked myself at about 730wpm (in your face! or something...). But I was deliberately trying to read fast, although I do read pretty quickly. I am able (obviously) to skim read things quickly - I would read slower when reading for pleasure though. I've never tried speed reading techniques, mainly because the one person I talked to about it said they found it hard to 'switch off' speed reading. e.g. I was asking him about 'Watchmen', and he couldn't remember some of the stuff I was talking about - he thought it was because he speed-read it. I'd rather enjoy reading than focus purely on speed.
