Saw an infomercial on it, and decided to try the demo.
It actually *worked*.
My reading speed went from 420 -> 495

Any comments on it?
Mine increased from 457 -> 572
It claims to increase 2 to 10 times. If you start at 457, you should get somewhere between 914 and 4570.
284 => 442
Who cares? This doesn't deal at all with reading comprehension. If you're reading twice as fast you're going to not remember very many specific details about what you just read.
Yes, I started out at 381 and went up to 412. Well... needless to say its a much short reading fragment so its multiplying how many words per minute you're actually reading by about four and has no regard to reading endurance or accuracy. I doubt you could keep up that pace AND comprehend what the hell if going on. On top of this its often mind over matter too, I'm sure a couple of you subconcously went to click the spacebar a bit faster to really improve on your reading. As for me.... Well I think my increase mainly came from those annoying consistant clicks waking me up. :-\
Did anyone think the second passage was an easier read? Perhaps it was setup to make the product look better.

I thought I implied that in my post. :P
anyone else thought of the possibility it makes up the answer at the end? someone try it; i dont want to sit thru it anymore
Tried it, 365 => 46. I just let it run and went to eat.
I went from 814 to 392. The final story was less straight-forward, which has a much much larger effect on reading speed than how fast you can move your eyes.
490 -> 728
666 -> 1337.
