Alexis Kleinman for The Huffington Post:

Soon you could read all 309 pages of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” in under 77 minutes. Yes, you. To get through it that quickly (a pace of 1,000 words a minute) you’ll have to use an about-to-be released app and forgo the idea of reading page by page.

I had no problem keeping up with 500 words a second. You can try it yourself in the gif below. The obvious problem with Sprint is that a few seconds of distraction is enough for you to lose yourself in the text, but a technology like Google Glass could potentially detect when you’re looking away from the screen and pause the text automatically.
