      @alexjc i do speed read, using a "scan > abstract > rescan > abstract > read" mythology. Assumption is each book has 90% "noise".

      @samim Do you process the information visually (without subvocalisation) as well as smart skimming? Both skills are separate AFAICT...

      @alexjc Reading modes: Elementary > Inspectional > Analytical > Syntopical. Built a prototype tool, that allows reading across all modes

          For what I describe there, all that's needed is a queue, a timer, and a text editor. Pretty simple!
