Bookworms: Do we have some speed-reading tips for you!

The average reading speed is 300 words, or about one page, per minute. Did you know President John F. Kennedy was one of a number of US Presidents who were speed-readers?

JFK (above) claimed he could read at around 2000 words per minute with a very high comprehension rate. He studied under American speed-reading expert Evelyn Wood who could read at an impressive 6000 words a minute. Other speed-reading presidents, confirmed or rumored, include Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter.

In 2007, when J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was published, six times world champion speed-reader Anne Jones was the first to read it. Jones finished the 200,000-word, 759-page book in 47 minutes flat then immediately completed a book review and sent it out to media to prove her total comprehension of the story.

After researching the brain’s scientifically proven ability to pick up things subliminally and rapidly, we devoted a chapter to speed reading in our book GENIUS INTELLIGENCE : Secret Techniques and Technologies to Increase IQ. We learned (from others far brighter than ourselves) that by incorporating peripheral vision and photographic memory, it’s possible to mentally scan or photograph entire pages at a time rather than one word at a time.

Calling all bookworms… Just because you don’t own a Kindle device doesn’t mean you can’t download and read Kindle ebooks.

You can download Amazon’s FREE Kindle app for your smartphone, tablet and computer.

Here’s what Amazon has to say about it:

  • Buy Once, Read Everywhere: You don’t need to own a Kindle device to enjoy Kindle books. Download one of our free Kindle apps to start reading Kindle books on all your devices. The Kindle app is available for every major smartphone, tablet, and computer. That means with our free Kindle reading apps, you can buy a Kindle book once, and read it on any device with the Kindle app installed. And of course, you can also read that same Kindle book on a Kindle device if you own one.
  • With Amazon’s Whispersync technology, you can automatically save and synchronize your furthest page read, bookmarks, notes, and highlights across all your devices. That means you can start reading a book on one device, and pick up where you left off on another device.
  • Shop the Kindle Store for over one million Kindle books, including new releases and New York Times® best sellers. If you are a non-U.S. customer, book pricing and availability may vary.
  • Read the first chapter of a book before you decide whether to buy it.
  • Read thousands of free books with a Kindle app, including popular classics like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, and Treasure Island.
  • Go into your local library to check out an eBook, and have it delivered wirelessly to your Kindle app.
  • Adjust a book’s text size to your desired comfort level for easier reading.
