>>That's individual. I walk at 3.3 mph and happily read on the treadmill. Listen to my iPod, too.

>Well, listening to music is not an issue because regardless of my ears bouncing up and down, the sound is still ok, but how can you read? I tired and I just can't get my eyes to jostle in the same rhythm as the printed page.

I can't answer how, I just do it. It's never been a problem. I can read on an exercycle, too, but find it hard on any of the more intense cardio machines. On the treadmill, I sometimes (not often enough) get so absorbed in what I'm ready that I'm surprised my time is done. And I am doing a fairly tough work-out. 3.3 mph, incline changing and going as high as 10-12%.
