I did find it easier to read faster, however I do believe the JFK portion was chunked with a lot of bigger words/data like years, cities, full names whereas the SBA paragraphs were simpler (IMHO).

Would be great if they could A/B test the text used. I found the JFK portion harder to read/understand and I don't think it was entirely the colouring. Still, I think it is a cool idea and will give the bookmarklet a try for a while.

The reading test is randomized—different people get different stories in color or black. The order of black/color is also randomized. It's not perfect, but it'll have to hold us over until the larger study from the university research lab is completed.
