while I dont believe in speed reading and skimming through books - I think you never get full essence of the message that's trying to be conveyed - you are making good points. My personal approach to reading more books is not speed reading, but saving more time/day to read...

Definitely a good point. I'm not so sure I believe the people who claim 800-3000+ WPM but with the method I described, I definitely did increase my average speed by almost double. I didn't lose any comprehension either. I still have to make time for reading, but I use that time much more effectively now.
I speed read articles to see if I really want to read them, or to find a piece of info I don't know in a sea of info I'm already familiar with
Would you say that it's more about skimming than speed reading in that case?
