I don't think of it as magic if that's what it sounds like, but I didn't expect to get any recall of things I PhotoRead the first times. I think I've read five books so far and I haven't been able to activate anything, but I haven't excpeted to do so either. I think I need more experience before I can do it exactly right. There are so many steps in the process where I can go wrong. My original question was just to get a feeling for how difficult it is for an "average" person even if that has no connection to me. This is all new to me and experience of others is all I have. :-)

Best regards,
