How would you like to do speed reading on your Palm device? One software product claims to do that for you. It's called RapidReader and it is also available on Windows, Mac and Symbian.

RapidReader is "a new kind of computer assisted option that's available whenever you want to save time. In essence, anything you can read on screen, you can read faster with RapidReader." It makes a movie out of the text, and shows it to you at variable speeds mimicking speech patterns. You can read PDFs, Outlook e-mail, MS Word docs, web pages and txt files (some formats require the PRO version).

I don't personally find scrolling e-book reader software to be helpful, so I'm a bit skeptical, but if you really want to read e-books faster, you might want to give it a try. Or... you could just buy an e-ink device with a larger and nicer screen!
