Here's a nice book on the biological apparatus of reading: http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Brain-Science-Evolution-Invention/dp/B003H4RAOU http://www.amazon.com/Reading-Brain-Science-Evolution-Invent... One idea that I've yet to see anyone try is to increase letter size as distance increases from the highlighted letter on either side. Presumably as the fovea is centered on the highlighted letter, resolution for letters farther away decreases gradually, so increasing letter size may compensate for it. I'll be trying this soon for my iOS speed-reading app (http://velocireaderapp.com http://velocireaderapp.com).

I bought two speed reading apps earlier this week - didn't realize yours did epubs. More important than increased letter sizes, I think, is the redicle. I hope you add it to your app.

  That is the patent-pending bit, unfortunately. Here's the Spritz patent application: http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20140016867 http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20140016867
