You're not going to get comprehension the way you now think of comprehension before you rapid read- sorry. Thru all the steps up till Rapid read you are going to pick up on what's most important to you based on what and how strong your purposes are. Slow reading something once is great for a story book but terrible for a text. I think Pr is for everything other than a story but they won't come out and say it. Most books have less than 10 important details and using PR you can get them in 20 minutes and not 5 hours. Does that mean you comprehend it? I say yes but others say no because they're afraid of what they're missing. Isn't everyone afraid of what they're missing all the time anyway? It's not a problem with Photoreading, it's a problem with us. I don't want to get Married because of what I'll be missing. I want to travel because I think I'm missing something. I eat and eat and eat until I'm almost dead and still feel like I'm missing out on something at the buffet. It's a human problem and no Pr course is going to get rid of it you can slowly chip it away over time. I'm never going back to reading everything the author has to say. He's probably just writing a book because he's bored anyway. A book is like a 3 hour conversation where all the relevant info is in 5 minutes. What's the other 2hours and 55 minutes for?
