I used to read straightforward texts (narrative, contemporary, common
typefaces, normal-sized print, undemanding content) at well over
1000wpm. That's two or three average paperback pages per minute. It
never seemed fast to me, but apparently it was. People kept taking
books off me as a child and asking me questions, apparently not
believing that I could possibly be taking it in. My eyes are going, I'm
down around half that now - better in good light when I'm not tired :-)

That speed would be completely impossible were I reading one word at a
time in linear sequence, which is what Spritz feeds you.

I'm trying to imagine reading Kafka or Dickens via Spritz. Or a play. I
think it would be awful.

Regards, K.
