Where I am mostly unable to read normal books these days I am able to read thousands of pages (250-275 words) of webfiction a week if I have the time. I wonder where the difference lies between these? The type of content or the actual physical action of "grabbing a book and getting some relaxing time".

I think the Internet rewired my brain. I find it much more comfortable to read a book using the Kindle app's Continuous Scroll setting.

Reading or skimming / "power-reading", in the "I've read War And Peace in 2 hours. It's about Russia and Napoleon or something".

He, I always wondered if someone would use that. Sure, pages aren't technically a necessity anymore, but I think continuous scrolling is the absolute worst. Turning a page gives opportunity for a pause. Sounds weird, but I somehow need that for reading longer books.
