First I go in to trance like state by 10 to 15 min. Meditation and while reading I create mental mind maps... It may slow me down a bit but it's useful for comprehension and memory. It's like watching the movie in the mind's eye..
SQ4R(survey, question, read, remember, review, reflect) technique is useful along with speedreading / photoreading..

Now one thing is clear to me that I can't read at the speed of 25000 WPM. May be that's my limitation or I didn't understand the technique or whole technique is wrong...

It's interesting to read Nasa's research on photoreading :
