You know there is one story that I'm going to share because I know it was deleted shortly after I posted it.
One evening I was baby sitting my niece and nephew. I put them to bed at the appointed time but naturally it takes an extra 30 minutes for them to fall asleep.
After reading them each a couple of stories I turn to watch TV and wouldn't you know it 4 channels and nothing on. 
My brother isn't into books but they happened to have encylopaedias. I thought for some light reading I'll just grab a couple of the junior one and PhotoRead them. I PhotoRead three and managed to activate one. I was just on the second book when my brother arrived. I had put the kids to be less than 20 minutes before.
My brother happened to ask me about this PhotoReading thing, what it is about, to explain I grabbed one of the books he saw me put away when he arrived. In the process I was flipping the pages and giving him a summary of the 26 articles that were in the book (each one was 2 to 6 pages long). It was he who worked out that I spent less than 20 minutes with the book and I that I was summarising every article in detail.
He was awestruck and said, "I know you wouldn't have had much time at that, the kids are still awake. They only went to bed 30 minutes ago." It impressed him, he has told a few of his workmates about PhotoReading
I spent about a minute per article that most people would take 7 minutes per article to read. And that was just a bit of light reading.
