I saw the infomercial, as far as the book goes you actually see him do 2 steps. He first photoread the chapter, and then he went back and rapid read the chapter. You could see his eyes go across the pages the second time he flipped through the chapter. In either case he did do the chapter quite quickly and would be vastly superior to regular reading.
I am somewhat skeptical of the online book demonstration he did on the computer though. Because the infomercial showed only 1 step and the screen was literally a blur. I have a hard time believing it but wouldn't say it was impossible. Once you say impossible to yourself you have biased your thought process and have created your own limitations to what you can accomplish. I would just feel better about it if I knew he rapid read it also but they didn't show it on the infomercial. My skeptism comes because he did 2 steps on the chapter, but they only showed 1 step on the computer. The computer thing seemed much more difficult and he appeared to PhR more content on the computer than the book. If he had to rapid read the chapter, I would think he would have to do the same for the computer demonstration. But for now I will give him the benefit of the doubt since I want to attain this ability also in time, so I don't want to sabotage my own potential abilities with negative thoughts such as "impossible".
