I just started photoreading about 2 to 3 weeks ago mainly because of the amount of reading that I have to do each week. I checked out the book and read it end to end.
I think photoreading should greatly benefit me in everyway, however, I still have a few concerns about it. I have stated my purpose, done trigger words, and know how to do photofocus(I think). It seems to me that the activation stage has to be the toughest thing to get right. Am I wrong about this?

1.I have tried all the activation techniques, but to no avail.

2.When I am in photofocus, I see the blip page, but should I try to use my peripheral vision at the same time? One more thing, I find that when I do photofocus, sometimes my eyes concentrate on one word. Is this normal for a beginning photoreader?

3. For very wide books, how do I go about photoreading these books. College textbooks are typically very wide so I know I will encounter these for a while. What strategy would one suggest to tackle these wide books. Would I photoread each page or take in both pages at once? I remember seeing on the infomercial that it looked like Pete was photoreading both pages because it was also a very wide book. Is that correct?

4.I deal with a lot of books that involve formulas and such. Does this type of information get absorbed easier or would I have to memorize this type of information?

I am really looking forward to photoreading my first book and if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Everyone feel free to leave any thoughts about what I can do to improve my soon to be great photoreading skill.

Eternally yours,

Shaan
