But is speed the point?

Staples has a simplest test on its site to track reading speed, located here:

It's a clever idea, but I have to wonder - is speed really the point when you're reading for fun? Maybe I'm just sore because it claimed I read at a barely average pace, but I think that if you read fiction too fast, you lose a lot of the flavor - and the fun.
