I am not a photoreader (Darwin is not a photoreader). But, I am interested. I am currently studying a PhotoReading book I found by Paul Scheele called "Speed Reading Made E-Z." My normal reading speed is about 500 wpm and I am facinated by the idea of photoreading. I believe that Photoreading is possible. Other than all day, that day several years ago when I took Howard Bergs speed-reading course, I have not yet experienced anything like that again. However let me tell you about what I used to do as a kid on a school bus going 40 mph. While sitting in a window seat on the bus, I would focus my eyes on the ground next to the moving bus, then suddenly shift my focus 6 feet behind my original focus point and it seemed as if the bus had stopped moving for a spit second and I could see EVERY ITEM on the ground in that second focus point. This is why I believe photoreading is possible. Can you imagine flipping through a book at 40 mph knowing that your subconscious mind is seeing EVERY ITEM. I am going to become a Photoreader. Forty mph is 704 inches per second; if a page is 6 inches wide then you would be photoreading 117 pages a second.
I tried the Photoreader's dictionary test yesterday and guessed the proper column 3 out of 4 tries.
