dmlocke, learn the system first on some non-technical books. And check your purpose. If you're not getting anything from Superreading then you may not have a mind probing question for that section.

If you are working through a book that you must read for school or learning. Figure out what you are require to know. So you have your purpose I need to know this or that so that I can pass and have a great career in.

Then one way to work through textbooks systematically is to use precision question. Turn chapter heading and subheading into questions so you have something to answer as Superread and dip or skitter.

Skittering takes way longer you can spend 30 to a minute on a page. Don't worry too much about how long per page. Apply the system and you will go much faster than traditional reading of 5 minutes per technical page.
