I could imagine that it becomes exhausting to the brain and stressful to the eye after some time when reading very long texts that way - right because you do not move the eyes, do not easily interrupt for a short brake, and always "stare".
I rather like E-readers (as you know, Skybird), and I can see how this can kind of work at least for a short time, but I prefer having at least a paragraph in front of me at once. Some paragraphs can be adequately absorbed with a single glance, while others need you to slow down and sometimes you might even want to look back a sentence. So it really depends and cannot be fixed to a certain speed.
