I purchased PhotoReading book 3 years back and I can recommend that book to anyone who want to improve their skills in skimming their books. I believe the most useful parts of the photoreading whole mind system is prepare,preview review,rapidread.I did photoreading step many times, but to be honest, it only made me more relaxed.
Iam saying this because it really gave me a uh, paradigm shift in my study habits. I used to read a book and expect to remember what I had read. I even cram in hopes I might remember the material I want to read. But no use.I just did those steps and it helped me remember the material.
In my opinion what I would tell would tell is to use this book/audio/Dvd programs as a complement to any speed reading programs like eyeq,Ace reader software. I don't think any human being could
read at 25,000 words per min.
I think the author could label the word "read" with "skim" so that there would be no controversies with photoreading
