Thanks @BookCat (and @ekbell) for the great descriptions of speed reading. I still can't do it, but I understand better how it works now.

It's interesting how many kinds of speed reading there are. Besides removing subvocalization and skimming, I've heard of a technique for seeing and processing whole lines of text at once rather than scanning the words from one side to the other.
