Anything above 800wpm is considered skimming. You're skipping what you think is unnecessary. It's easy to misunderstand information this way and is a disadvantage since you're only using the short term memory. Many speed readers find that their memory of what they read is very poor and they often have to speed read it again to collect the missing details.

The speedreading books say that comprehension goes up with reading past the 800 wpm mark.
You, who want to sell your Photoreading courses, say Speedreading doesn't work but Photoreading does.
Photoreading seems a lot more bizare, so why should I believe that Photoreading works but Speedreading doesn't?
Their is the NASA document (NASA tested whether Photoreading is useful for training their staff) with proposes that Photoreaders hypnotise themself (one of the Photoreading steps can be interpreted as selfhypnosis) to belief they understant the material when the in fact don't (when given a test). Therefore the accounts of people who tested photoreading aren't reliable information as long as they haven't taken tests over the material they read.
An addition Photoreading may work for someone like Steve you knows exactly what I want from a book while most of us don't have clear enough intentions.
