Do you guys use speed reading techniques?
dilanj: You only remember about 20% of what you read at best. So the optimal approach would be to pick the 20% you want to read.Skimming over dull parts and reading the start and end of paragraphs helps. I've also tried EyeQ and AceReader and felt the latter helped in learning to read chunks of words at a time.Personally though, the biggest difference was made by starting to use a Sony Reader. It'll make a lot of your otherwise mundanely spent time usable for reading.
