Is it me or are all the methods used sufficient enough to learn a book without the actual 'photoreading' stage?

Rapid reading - is it supposed to take that long? - when you have added all the techniques together you could probably read the book cover to cover with a few speed reading techniques in the same time that dont take nearly as much time or concentration.

Can skittering be left out?

this methods all seem very useful for a 'book' but what avbout text books with 800 pages with different sections etc all over the place previews will take for ever for a real understanding?

Please help me as i wish this method to work and be a quick and easy way but it does seem very timme consuming !

I want to be able to read such a 800 page book in under an hour is this possible and remember a goo 70% of it?

thanks to all in advance and please help!
