I do speed reading: It is real, I am part of a group in Europe that could read a novel in 30 minutes. We are more than 50 people.
The big drawback: we can't read anything that fast. We have to format the content in an specific way that we trained with. For example, reading long lines is a big no no. The idea is to maximize the circular area that you could read on a single eye stroke. With training you make the circular area bigger and bigger.
That is, we need to OCR the book or something that let's us create our own book in digital format(tablet) or decrypt the epub-pdf. That is illegal.
Why people love to speed read things like novels?
Because normal reading is boring and too slow. It is like being told to play football at 1km/hour max.
