This is kind of cool – it's a site for reading faster. Click the “Click Here to Speed Read this Introduction” and follow the instructions.http://www.spreeder.com/There's also a "bookmarklet" that you can use to speed read any highlighted text on a web page. Neat!
I don't recall such a discussion, and doing a search for “speed reading” on the forum yielded only this thread. The real problem with speed reading is that it's not conducive to highlighting/writing notes. I tried copying and pasting some text into that spreeder application and realized I would have to backtrack if I wanted to jot something important down.
I have read that speed reading is actually math and that comprehension is the stumbling block. Of course people can read faster but our monkey brains can only process information so fast and therefore 300-400 WPM is the top end of true reading speed.
