Fastr is a speed reading app for iPad, claims that it can increase speed reading skills by 300%. We can use whatever speed reading skills we used for reading conventional books with eBooks as well. I use a stylus instead of the finger tip to read the eBooks and I am able to read faster. If Fastr does as it promises then it will be a good tool to have in iOS.
Eldars Loginovs, the CEO and co-founder, said the app can improve a person’s reading speed by anywhere from 30% to 300%. Typically, a normal reader, reading in their own language, can read at about 240 words a minute. But Mr. Loginovs says speeds of 600 words a minute are easily achievable.
I haven't tried this app to see how good it works, it has low positive reviews, but it is too early to say that it is good or bad, Wall Street Journal gives it a OK. There are however, some good speed reading instruction books like Peter Kump's Breakthrough Rapid Reading, Evelyn Wood 7-Day Speed Reading book by Stanley D. Frank, Tony Buzan's Speed Reading, which I think are much better and logical ones to read first.
If you use any other speed reading technique either reading conventional books or eBooks, please leave a comment.

A nice book for Coffee lovers by Norwegians, Lars K. Huse and Harald Johnsen Vøyle. For more info click http://kaffikaze.no/
About the book:
"Lars K. Huse AKA Illustration and Coffee: A young illustrator, artist and coffee-supergeek from Oslo, Norway, currently based in London. Part of the Cupofill collective, Lars does many a thing, always with a focus on the conceptual. Some of these things are: Live-illustration performances, murals, exhibitions, t-shirts and other products in addition to work for clients. One of his main areas of work is creating a renewed aesthetic for the specialty coffee industry based upon an informed approach. Lars is all about taste.
Presented as an A-Z; an art-book, and conversational guide about coffee, specialty coffee and coffee culture, filling a gap in the market overflowing with purely informative, and at times frankly boring books. It has been formed over the past six months, pulling and combining resources as both an illustrator and a coffee professional. The book is aesthetically quite simple, classic contemporary, with subtlety in line and production. All the words, illustrations, etc. is written by Lars and is a heavily biased reflection upon the industry. For the layout and design, Lars got together with like-minded coffee geek and graphic designer Harald Johnsen Vøyle (Kaffikaze) and crafted this contemporary classic."You can buy the book in Norway online: http://kaffa.myshopify.com/products/bok-a-z-coffee ($16 + shipping)

I saw this photo of Kansas City Library with books in its building, I thought it was Photoshopped, but they are real. Here in Street View in Google Maps you can see that. Clever idea and nice architecture. Who won't be inspired by such an image in a Library.
