Spritzing - just saw it tonight - great way to read (1 Viewer)

Pretty cool. When reading I generally glance a lot. Just too impatient to actually read every word. I just wonder if this would get dizzying after a while.

 
This is the way of the future IMO. This was way too simple to do in a few second of getting used to it. I'm taking this to work tomorrow and getting someone on it ASAP (I work for Amazon) for the Kindle.

 
Is there really a benefit to reading a book you enjoy so quickly? Isnt part of the experience of reading, kicking back and relaxing?

 
Anyone tried doing this for a long period of time? It requires a fair amount of concentration and I sort of half-zone out sometimes when reading for a long time. I let that happen here intentionally and once you get behind by a word or two you get totally lost right away with this.

For those of us that don't read to sit back and relax, this could be huge. I just want to absorb all the content and move the #### on. WISH I'd enjoy the act of reading more, but I just want the knowledge without the tediousness of, well, reading.

I generally read for information, not enjoyment. Think of how fast you could read through the entire Shark Pool with this technique!

I'm the same way. I wish I could slow myself down.

This concept is cool as hell.

 
Will my "inner voice" subside at some point? Just messing around with it now and I can't stop hearing the words in my head, which doesn't allow much of a ramp up (at least what these sites are suggesting).

 
I've always read fast (for instance, I read IT in a day in 8th grade). I'm not sure this would help me because I tend to read sentences at a time at a glance. I don't speed read, at least as I understand it, but I do read in chunks.

Anyway, I was fine at 400. At 500 I was missing words, but able to know what the words were by context. I don't know if that meant I should have moved back or not.

 
Combine that with Cliff Notes and a kid in high school could read The Great Gatsby in like 4 minutes, no?

 
If you were reading a book and forgot the name of a character or place from 2 pages ago, how do you flip back? I remember words in their context on the physical page.

 
How are you going to read complicated ideas or dialogue like this? Look like something that seems cool at first but is impractical.

There are also times that I will scan. Either to get to a specific piece of information or to grab the general concept and focus when I come across something of interest. Can't just glance and scan a page in a few seconds with this.

I'm pretty sure if you use this, you can still read books the other way. Committing to this doesn't mean you have to give up on other techniques.
