This speed-reading site is crazy, yet effective!
www.spreeder.com
Here's why it works (according to the blog Legal Geekery): "Speed reading is simply disciplining yourself to NOT try to subvocalize each word. You brain is actually very capable of this once you get used to it. The problem is that on a written page, you have a second problem that you have to train your eyes to actually “scan” a word and then MOVE to the next one and (depending on the layout of the page, font size, etc.) that is also a challenge. (That’s why people who speed read with physical paper books will often move their finger quickly back and forth across the page, or use an index card and drag it down the page to reveal lines at the rate the want to read, but help keep their eyes from wandering."
Spreeder and I are gonna be tight in a few months. I can feel it.
