• A different way of reading. Faster, too.
  Interesting idea, good for reading stuff where you've got a lot t get through. Not sure I'd want to read stuff I'm reading for pleasure that way though, or at least, I'd want to slow it down quite a bit.

Cool but a) I was missing words in the faster gifs; b) it looks like it takes the control away from the reader. When I'm reading I scan back over things now and then, and I pause to process words into concepts, or just because I want to think on what was said. Interesting idea, but no.
