It would seem to me - especially because in the story where we hear about Paul Scheele before he started PhotoReading - he was already able to speedread at about 5000 wpm. That is pretty much smokin' by most standards. Because there is a reading aspect to the PR process - the skim and dip part, it would seem that the best of both worlds would be a PR primer backed up by a great speed reading "skim and dip". Better yet - use PhotoReading and then speedread the whole book. That would be a speedy way to definitely "activate" the material.
