I'm the first to admit I'm a slow reader, and my book selections are monosyllabic enough that I've never had a problem with auto-hyphenation or fully justified text leaving large spaces on a line, so excuse me when I completely fail to grasp any "advanced" non-linear reading technique that requires you to read single lines of pages at random points in a book? Is this puzzle reading? Do you keep doing this until you've read the whole book and then you're forced to try put it all together at the end? You must be wicked smart!

"Dynamic reading?" Oh! Now I know what you're talking about. But don't worry, bro, I ported one of R.A. Montgomery's Choose-Your-Own-Adventure novels to mobipocket and it worked out fine for me on my Kindle. I found the treasure chest and everything.
