When i'm photoreading e-materials such as ebooks,
1)Do i focus at the centre of the page?
2)And is the imagine the x part important?
3)Plus while i focus on the centre, must i also look at blanks within paragraphs?
4)While i do step 1 and 2 above, do i also have to be aware of the four edges?

And let's say that my materials are in pdf format right, and in full screen, the words are too small for my eyes to see.
In this case does photoreading still works?
Or must i set the sizes to a readable one first?

Yes, focus at the center of the page, usually just above the horizontal half way point is best. Imagining the X is important if you're using the "X Technique." But it's not important if you're able to see the cocktail weenie, or able to simply have a divergent gaze.

If the zoom is at 100%, and it's too small for your eyes to see, then it's a badly formatted document. Hehe. It really depends on how small it is, or what it looks like. If the print still exists, it may be possible that PhotoReading it will work, but the text would have to be fine enough to be seen somehow. Just depends with that.

Oh so you mean that if i can see the cocktail weenie then i could just concentrate on the centre of the page while noticing the edges of my computer screen and looking at the blanks between each paragraphs, right?

You won't get the cocktail weenie effect on a single page. If you want to see something like the blip page stick two dots about 3/4 inch apart equal distant from the middle of your monitor. I suggest you place them on the monitor frame rather than the viewing area.

Look at the dots to get the thrid dot in the middle. You now have the blip page so PhotoRead.

The Imaginary X is a lot easier to work with just notice the whole page looking at the middle and notice the four corners and pattern of white.
