This method of reading is used, in my limited experience with it, with like plugins for a web browser or eReader.

I found it annoying at first but with a little practice I was reading like double my normal speed, which was already very fast. It felt at times like I was downloading information right into my brain. I played with it for a couple of months a while back but ultimately it just wasn't practical.

At least when I'm reading things relevant to my field, I'm able to skip over large chunks of the written material because a lot of what's there is explanations or history with which I'm already familiar.

Plus, it stripped away all of the headings and and other text formating. I suppose it would have been better suited to like a novel, but I was reading legal decisions and scholarship.
