I heard about this courses and things, mostly from secretarys(guess its their line of work ). I have always been an avid reader, so I read and understand it fine and fast, may be because I read allot since I'm a kid, I've got my own reading tachnics or what not to sumerize things when doing studies, so I can't really say much on this photo reading, If its faster than I read then I'd say I'd give it a try, but I'd have to compare it with someone who photo reads to actually see how it is. Interesting though, If I could read a book a day then I'd say woweeeeee
