Hey,
If you mean the blip page, yes, but it's not necessary. I'm actually using the imaginary X technique more often now. As long as you can see the four corners of the book and and center in your view, you should be fine.
I don't know what you mean by you find that you know what the words mean without reading them. If you find yourself identifying words, your consciously reading. Try to take your mind off the book by focusing on the chant.
