Well, if you hate reading like me...and I mean, really hate it...then photoreading would obviously wont help you as much since you dont like reading in the first place. However, if you enjoy taking the time to read things regularly, then this is DEFINITELY the system for you! I've tried it a couple times (woulda use it more often, but I'm too lazy to pick up a book to start reading) and guess what? Luckily for me, it worked on my first try to photoread a book. Good luck with your experience with photoreading when you get it.
