I just posted something to amazon.com about the book "Rapid Reading made E-Z."
Let me see if I have it in a buffer somwhere:
Technically, this book [Rapid Reading made E-Z] and "PhotoReading" are the same book. However, this book is formatted in the style made popular by the "For Dummies" series. Combined with the dimensions of the book, this makes it much easier to follow. This version also has more details on syntopic reading.
This book isn't really about reading, or speed-reading. PhotoReading is vastly different, as it involves seeing the words with the peripheral vision and understanding their meaning on a preconscious level. While many would say this makes "PhotoFocus" a useless activity which Paul Scheele uses to sell traditional speed-reading activities as previewing and skimming, events such as lucid dreaming, spontaneous activation, and increased intuitive capabilities prove that there is something going on at an other-than-conscious level.
(Pasted directly from the clipboard - w00t for synchronicity. "For Dummies" is a registered trademark of IDG books and is no way affiliated with the E-Z series).
