one thing that really sped up my reading was a different mindset. learning to accept that i don't have to actually look at every word to understand what i'm reading took my speeds to a whole new level. i started with something i already knew and just flew over the sentences. think almost skim reading. pretty soon i started realizing that i am indeed grasping everything at noticeable higher speeds. and if not you can always go back.

not advised for authors with complicated structures or very involved prose.
