I have Acereader on my pc but rarely use it. There are various modes of using the program, the one I've found most helpful is where it breaks a passage (which you can load into the program, or choose a pre-selected one) into groups of words which sort of roll along the page: the first group at the beginning of the 'line', the second further along etc. This discourages reading individual words and encourages reading word-groups, which both speeds reading and reduces inner vocalisation.
I do these things naturally now and did when I was studying literature at uni and needed to get through a lot of reading. I bought the program to refresh my speed at a time when I was very sluggish and frustrated with my slow reading.
There are lots of other programs which do similar things. Many people just naturally read efficiently.
