Hi David,

I have not tried the photo-reading. But if majority says it is good, there must be some substance in it.

Personally I have bought Tony Buzan's "The Speed Reading Book" which is very good with exercises at the end of each chapter, helping you to train your reading speeding by going easier from earlier chapter to getting more advance reading methods in later chapter.

Btw, Tony Buzan is the inventor of Mind Maps and the world's leading authority on the brain and learning.

But the most difficult part of speed reading or Photo-reading is, you have to totally abandon your traditional reading method you have been using since you know how to read! Imagine kicking an old habit you have since childhood!

You have to keep practice practice practice everyday until you get used to it.. it can takes a long time and most people are not able to do it though..
