Every speed reading book I've looked at, and I've looked at a few, makes the point that the techniques they are offering are not intended for pleasure reading.
My wife and my son read novels at what seems to me to be super speed, but that's not because of anything like the "speed-reading" that is taught through the various books and programs.
Call it what you will, but effective skimming, with good comprehension and retention, would be a great skill to develop for folks who have to read a lot of reports, release notes, manuals, etc. and I have no doubt that skill can be learned.
