Speed reading doesn’t register many hits here, but in a recent thread on subvocalization there are claims of speeds well above 500 WPM.
My standard reading speed is about 200 WPM (based on my eReader statisitcs, varies by content), I can push myself to maybe 240 but it is not enjoyable (I wouldn’t read fiction at this speed) and 450-500 WPM with RSVP.
My aim this year is to get myself at 500+ WPM base (i.e. usable also for leisure reading and without RSVP).
Is this even possible? Claims seem to be contradictory.
Does anybody have recommendations on systems that actually work? Most I’ve seen seem like overblown claims to pump for money from desperate managers… I’m willing to put into it money if it actually can deliver.

Thank you very much.
I read around 600 wpm without ever taking speedreading lessons so with training it should be very possible.
