Just to let you know, i managed to get through the book in one night and took me only another week to integrate the techniques.
I've also looked into the reading course you've mentioned. All i have to say is that Photoreading is more than photoreading, it teaches you how to learn (photolearning). You'll be surprised haw far you can excel with this system.
