Time for a "car" analogy.
Image you and a dozen of your friends go to see a movie at the Mall of America. All of you parked your cars within the several stories of parking ramps.
The movie is over. All of you walk back out to the parking ramps.
Using speed reading would be the equivilent of starting at the 1st parking ramp and running past every single car beginning-to-end, top to-bottom until you come upon your own car.
Using PhotoReading is the equivilent of first seeing all of the cars on each level, then, each of you walking directly to where your car is parked.
Or, at the grocery store... speed reading would have you quickly look at the label of every single product on every shelf beginning to-end, instead of looking above and going directly to the isles that contain everything on your list.
Why teach your brain to "cram in" one chunk at a time, then re-teach your brain to absorb all within your peripheral vision where you can then hard-focus on what you really want and need.
