Apologies for this! I didn't realize until just now how intense this is on the CPU. On slower machines the speed wasn't hitting its actual rate due to lag. I lowered the word count per page and it seems to be running much better. The scrolling feature also adds a performance hit that I did not know about, so I have disabled that by default. Running at full capacity, the app should get up to about 900-1000 WPM which is about 4* average adult reading speed. Sorry for all the issues guys :( It's really cool when you get into it, I promise. I'll continue to try to resolve issues as they come up!

Shame it doesn't work at all on IE 9; I have to use IE at work, and I do a lot of reading here, so this tool would be fantastic if I could use it... or even see what it does.

I found it a lot more comfortable once I got it up to 6-700wpm, though I'm not sure I'd switch to it over reading the regular way - but I can see keeping it bookmarked for when I encounter the occasional wall of text with no or few paragraph breaks. I feel like I would prefer the text to slide rather than page, having it all change at once is a bit disorienting and seems to be at odds with the basic design concept. But it's early days and obviously you're going to go through a bunch of iterations. Anyway, I think it's the best speed-reading tool I've seen, and I'm usually very negative about apps of this sort.

  Wow, that's impressive. I'm most comfortable around 300-400 :p I really appreciate your feedback! And that's an honor to hear. I tried to make it very customizable, and do find that sometimes I prefer the text not move at all (achieved by unchecking 'Scroll Automatically'). I hope you'll continue to use it, and I'll continue to improve it :)
