Some info about speed reading software, below, for anyone interested: ----- Forwarded message from John Burgess <ad123@ix.netcom.com> ----- From: "John Burgess" <ad123@ix.netcom.com> To: <gbnewby@pglaf.org> Subject: Reading software for PG users Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2006 14:54:49 -0800 Delivered-To: gbnewby@pglaf.org Hello Gregory: I represent a reading software company named Rocket Reader that produces a reading tool many users of Project Gutenberg will be very interested in using. Rocket Reader not only improves reading speed and comprehension, but readers will find it very useful in pacing their reading as well. There are two modules in the software that I use for this purpose: Speed Training and Grouping Training. Speed Training flashes groups of words from the imported text on a single line. It brings the words to your eyes. The rate can be set at the desired pace and ramped up as one reads through the text. Grouping Training begins with the text covered, then reveals it in groups of words, line-by-line. The speed and groups size can be set by the reader. I would like to discuss some arrangement to make Rocket Reader available to Project Gutenberg users. Perhaps, we could donate money to the cause as people begin using Rocket Reader. I also believe that more people would use Project Gutenberg if a reading tool like Rocket Reader were available to them. You can download a free 45-day trial at https://www.rocketreader.com/school/trial_aplus.html. I am more than happy to answer any of your questions.
