From what I've learnt they are no way similar. The Reading Genius course relies heavily on music. Moreover it is a speed reading system. PhotoReading is not speed reading so you're comparing different techniques.

I'm amazed that a course that sells for almost $300 can be obtained for as little as $14.50 almost unused? Good luck with it I'll be very interested in knowing how you go with it. However it's not the photoreading course you've got and the techniques are different.
