Hello
Well in the preview you are doing a few things that are very important.
The first thing is you are surveying the written material. Looking over the cover, spine and back. Then the inside index and the first few pages, charts, graphs and questions.
Then Appraising the value of the material for your purpose and finally reviewing and deciding if you want to go further.
Remember sometimes from a quick look see in your preview you might see that this is not the item for you. Then you can move on to other things.
Remember sometimes a book or material you are photoreading is not rite for you. When you preview you are determining if it is worth going further with this book or item you are going to photoread.
I hope this helps.
