Michael I find that I get that focused as well.
In the beginning the process seems foreign and the steps feel overly mechanical. But with some practice I have found that I flow through books and find the process to be highly relaxing. Photoreading feels as good as a nap when you are relaxed and having fun with it.
I have read enough books (hundreds) that I can easily get into the photofocus state and manipulate the width of the blip page with ease. I would definitely encourage people to experiement with this process and find what works best for them.
