Most people read by recognizing whole words (mainly using first and last letters and the overall shape), so I don't think that's much evidence about whether you subvocalize. It is also probably not much connected to your spelling ability. That's not to say that I doubt your introspection about not subvocalizing any more than other people's introspection.
Interesting. I was under the impression that the way I read was more like how people are taught to do in speedreading classes, and that most people read more phonetically then I do. But I guess I don't really know which is more common.
