I was a very slow reader, I used to get so frustrated. I decided to try speed reading software and in just a few months I was reading much faster. I still practice the things I learned and my reading speed continues to increase.

Anyone reading technical materials, or required to be sensitive to nuance knows that speed reading doesn’t serve the purpose.

If one’s doing light read – by all means.

Should be interesting to try. And keep up the blog, guys; it’s great for entertainment during the long, boring hours of work.

That's crap. I downloaded Emanuel's in digital format and used it to supplement notes for contracts last semester. Cost $26 and the program to read it is free, with a nice layout, and cross-platform. Check out VitalSource Bookshelf.

Seems like a very cool concept. I tend to subvocalize each word, but I think my comprehension increases when I do Spreeder looks like a good tool for skimming and getting the gist of something quickly.

I’m planning to check out the Aspen Study Desk this fall, where they publish Emanuel’s Commercial Outlines and the Examples and Explanations series in digital format. http://www.aspenlaw.com/Default.asp

It’s expensive though because Aspen makes you buy the outlines (@ $30/each) and the software ($40).

But if you pay for it, you can copy and paste the text and then speedread your precious commercial outlines.
