"Speed reading has matured into technological solutions. Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, or RSVP, provides faster reading than the manual finger-following method, with retention on par with standard reading at 250 words per minute. Research shows most people can start at 400WPM, and reach 800WPM in an hour; and further advancements used in products such as Spritz and Sprint Reader claim 1000-1800 words per minute when practiced by offsetting and context pausing.
Thus far I have not found any software to read ebooks with these methods. Are there any open source applications, Nook or Kindle Fire applications, or otherwise to read ePub or Mobi or Kindle books via RSVP?"

just another gimmick - if you want to read faster and understand what you are reading ,you need to read more - that hard work / practice thing
there is no shortcut you can buy for $1.99

That was the article I was looking for. Still think it might be nice to have it running while running on a treadmill; phone at the Dr's Office, etc.
