I usually photoread the right way round first then upside down and back to front - I don't know why but I always feel better after I have photoread back to front & upside down - that way I know that I am not consiously reading the material. As to the funny looks who cares - it serves a purpose and thats all that matters to me !

I also often find it is easier to flip pages when the book is upside down ......
