That said, I did read more this past year than I ever have in my life, but I think it is more a matter of carving out time for it and blocking out other distractions.

Here is another thread about this from not long ago: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222963
Thanks for that I missed that thread.

I agree with one or two of them, I would only speedread for basic info. To me, to speedread a book I am reading for pleasure would destroy all it's enjoyment.....reading slowly immerses me into the story.

So I think I will forget that download !!
