The book indicates that super-reading and dipping are part of (manual) activation.

I am a beginner myself but I should think it a good idea to practice daily. Very short items might still be read in the regular way. I'm still not interested in PR-ing on the computer, so I do my Internet reading the regular way: I don't want to keep files around to look at them later.

I don't know how long it takes to get to a stage at which activation occurs more automatically, but I think it must be key to get the conscious and non-conscious mind(s) to coordinate more and more freely. This means practice. Right off the bat one needs only about a third of the time to read a book, using this method. With practice, one gets faster, presumably because more steps become second nature. That's my take on it.
