What is the normal reading speed?

The reading speed of ordinary people is 40,000-50,000 words per hour. People who often read can even read 50,000 to 60,000 words per hour, while people who don't often read sometimes can't finish reading 20,000 words in an hour.

Some books are fluent in language and will read faster; Some books are obscure in language and will be read slowly. In particular, some translated foreign language works often have strange translation cavity, which looks particularly awkward and will also affect the reading speed. In addition, typesetting, font, font size, etc. will affect reading speed. In short, the more familiar you are with the form of reading materials, the faster you read and the slower you read.
