Become fully familar with the system as is before you look for short cuts.
Remember text books can take as much as 50 hours of studying using regular reading. It is much more realistic to expect to spend 15 hours with a text book you need to know well. Looking for shortcuts will be more time consuming than applying the photoreading steps.
For textbooks treat each chapter as a book on its own.
Set a timer and ensure you keep your activation passes to the time you specify then you will find that your information gathering speed increases.
