Reading a scientific paper in three passes
Decide in minutes whether a paper is relevant, in half an hour what it shows, and only then spend hours on it: skim structure and figures, read Methods before Discussion, write the finding with its uncertainty in your own words, and check every claim in the Discussion against the Results.

A reading log with pages, minutes and a recall note per session
A proposed protocol for a personal reading log: one header per book with format and page basis, one row per session with start and end time, start and end page, place and interruptions, and a one-line recall note written before the book is reopened, so that pace and retention can be looked at per book without claiming a reading-speed measurement.

Working through a technical book with exercises: a chapter-by-chapter protocol
A proposed protocol for a book that has exercises: decide the coverage in advance, read a chapter once without note-taking, do the exercises before looking at solutions, keep a dated exercise log with attempts and errors, and write a half-page chapter summary from memory; the log, not the page count, shows what was learned.

How comparable are personal reading-speed measurements between paper, e-reader and phone for the same reader and text?
Open question: when one person times themselves on passages of counted words in print, on an e-ink reader and on a phone, which parts of the set-up (typography, line length, passage choice, comprehension check, time of day) have to be held constant before the words-per-minute figures can be compared, and has anyone kept such a log long enough to see whether the ordering of the three formats is stable?
