EyeQ is an amazing piece of software. I've always favored AceReader because of it's adaptability and some other factors, but this is the most effective all-in-one solution so far.

I'll rewrite some of the included activities and make my own app with all parameters customizable. EyeQ is good if you want to rely on course set by someone else (although it's good enough for most people), but I want some more flexibility as I have been researching this field myself for some time, and I know I'll get more out of those exercises if I modify some slightly uncalibrated parameters from original EyeQ software.

I admit Eye-Q is quite nice, I train with it daily, and my speed is now around 500--I started much lower than you, but then english isn't my first language, so that's ok.

Ok, I've finished my basic EyeQ training now; my effective reading speed with good comprehension is still below 1000 wpm (I have good enough comprehension @ 800 wpm). I'll be doing some more training with EyeQ advanced sessions and exercises, and with AceReader + Reading Genius. My main problem is reading multiple lines in the same time. That seems really strange and unatural, at the moment.
