I tried the stereoreading website and for the life of me I can't see the three dimensional objects. So I started reading War and Peace by jsut relaxing my eyes - without the over-laid imgaes - and I was in a unique relaxed state and instead of seeing a bunch of patterns of texxt and whitespace I was actually seeing the words move before my eyes and the maneings were just popping into my brain - while holding the down arrow.

It was like watching a movie. I am not sure why I can do this with less effort than with the books, but I assume it is because I am a computer person and am much more relaxed with the PC and keyboard than with pen and paper.
