I also say the words in my head, but not in their entirety, a lot of the time. However, my speed also varies greatly depending on what I'm reading. The Art can take me almost 10 minutes per page, while Harry Potter or some other fiction book clock in at 150-200 pages an hour. Unlike you, I don't read aloud very fast. In fact, I'm usually pretty poor at reading aloud. At max speed, I read much, much faster than I could possibly speak and when reading aloud I often stumble over words because my mind is going on, but my mouth is still trying to say the third word behind. To a certain extent I sometimes dislike reading very fast. My retention rate is the same either way but I will often finish good books too quickly for my liking. This may also be a reason why I am attracted to longer books -- they can provide more than an hour or so of reading time.
