Regarding the article ? Did anyone else find their reading speed accelerating towards the bottom? Or, like me, while thinking about reading faster, realising you'd been reading but not taking in the last few paragraphs, but refusing to 'backskip'?

I once read in one year. To be fair, I was single, unemployed and communicatively challenged (i.e. without net access). Nowadays I average 40 books a year (full-time job, relationship and all that).

I think you are being unfair to the Guardian. It is 18 months since it last increased its cover price.
