Great idea. I'd love to find out how everyone came to PhotoReading.
My story is on another post somewhere, but I still vividly remember that telephone call back in 1985 when Paul asked "what if you could go through books as fast as you could turn the pages."

go through books as fast as you could turn the pages? is that possible? Or is he refering to sponteanous activation? Or else what? Are there ways i can achieve this?

Go through a book as fast as you can turn pages is PhotoReading. That's what we do when we PhotoRead.

But thats Go through , not comprehend, right?
for comprehension you still need activation right?

Photoreading is just one step toward comprehension. It's like putting the ingredients in the mixing bowl before baking/cooking it (activation)giving it the final touches. (additional activation)

Depends on what you require of the text. PhotoReading alone can be all you need to do for some books. After PhotoReading them you know you're done for now. Other books you want more specific information or comprehension., you'll activate. How much depends again on what you want from the book.
