Reading Techniques and Approaches
How can one read fast ?
- Listen to book while reading (Google Play Books and Amazong Kindle - Android App*). I am talking about Amazon Kindle device and sadly Amazon Kindle android app doesn’t have this feature though)
- While sending books to Google Play Books you must first convert if pdf to epub (or mobi to epup) so that you can use have text-reflow and “Read aloud” feature available in there.
- Reading Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) software like Amazon Kindle Android app support this and for desktop you can use amazing ShiftReader as chrome extension, it really amazing!
- Use Kindle Web, though it doesn’t support hear to text or RSVP feature but interface is good.
- See you Play Books in desktop as well. It doesn’t support hear to text or RSVP feature yet.
