It's meant for practice to increase your speed.
You can increase the speed by changing the settings (S).

But good for you.

I capped out at 700, wonder if thats good or bad

700 is pretty good as long as you can still absorb the info. I was using Sparknotes for it.

Started at 400 and went up by 50 every chapter. Good exercise =p

Set it to 400 right away, no problem. Gonna try 500.

Now try doing that while reading Beowulf or something.

I'm reading a 1000 word section of one of the Drizzt Do'urden stories... Just did 500 and 550 with no problems and going for 600.

Edit: 650 is getting tough, gonna stay there, and move to 2 words per block.

I was having no problems at 850 with 2 word blocks before I got bored with the whole thing, I can believe he was doing 900 with 4.

There's an option in advanced settings to lower the speed by a tiny fraction when displaying long words and speed up on smaller ones to compensate for it. It's a lot better than a flat wpm rate.

500 first try, not really in the mood to test other settings atm. I surprisingly read a lot ( hate **** books with no substance ).
