"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?"

To be honest, speed wasn't the goal for me. The goal was to read the book from my phone, and as you can imagine, 128x96 doesn't create information-dense pages. So, rather than tap the right-arrow tens of thousands of times to flip through miniscule pages of hard-to-read text, I thought I'd let the phone do the flipping, and make the words relatively large and legible. I was glad to see there was an existing program to do it for me, but I suppose I didn't really use it as intended.
