If I do read slower on my kindle - it's not much slower and I definitely fall into the higher volume of reading due to accessibility group. I do think I read slower on backlit devices, cause they aggravate my eyes though. Fine in a pinch but I tend to stop reading sooner than with a book or non-backlit device.

While I don't consider myself a "speed-reader" by any stretch of the imagination, I do read quickly. And I undeniably read slower on a mechanism of any kind than when reading a book. But as far as the study it probably includes a few things:
1) The majority of the population is still more used to reading in a book than on a device. So if they're not used to it, they'll definitely read slower
2) Often (no, not always, but often), on a device there is less words per page. Speed-reading involves stoping less on individual words and/or occasionally skimming certain sections. If you have to stop in order turn the page more often, it could slow down a real speed-reader.
My own personal thoughts? I highly prefer reading from an actual book, always will. I undoubtably read faster, and more comfortably with an actually physical book. Plus, there's the obvious, it smells good, it feels good, I just love it. Nothing will ever replace that. But at the same time, it's nice to pull out my phone at night and read, without even turning on the light!
