I have never tried photoreading but speedreading is basically increasing your linear reading speed by certain techniques and a lot of drilling. For example subvocalization (internal speech when reading a word or even forming it on your lips) slows your reading speed down. Another thing is regression - the habit to read and go back after a couple of words to make sure you understood it right. You learn to combat those habits when you learn to speedread.

I can't say much about photoreading. I am still waiting for positive testimonials of people here who have bought and completed the course before I spend the money on it. I doubt that Steve would recommend it if it were scam I am just not sure if it works for me. I am kind of a scientific person and not really keen on the more esoterical stuff.

My 2 cents.
