RE: PhotoReading

       I need information like this to convince my
boss to pay for the photoreading course...

I guess Steve is a hard person to be convinced

What I'd like to now specifically about Quantum reading, is what results this
capacity will help to deliver:
- is it focussed to the contents of a book, or towards the structure?

There is no difference between content and structure, you will need to know  your specific aim, what do you want with the book?

- can you use Photo-reading to learn things you can use actively afterwards
(e.g. suppose a want to learn some java-programming?)

I think Java is not a good starting, maybe Anthony Robbins is better.

- can you use it for "Delta-reading" (scanning a book for the difference with
another book on the same topic, e.g. to compare to introductory NLP books?)

Yes, if you are looking for differences.

- can you reproduce the contents of the book (for a multiple choice exam, for
other questions?)

Yes, my girlfriend asked me to read a book about relationship and love, I read the 150-pages-book in one hour, two days after, she was not convinced about photoreading, she asked me some questions and she got more answers than she knew about the book. Detail: She had read it the normal way.

- how about "reading between the lines": finding the things the author didn't
litterally write, but that must be there for his story (presuppositions, ...)

Patrick, in my map, when I am looking for ideas between the lines, I need to read, write and make a research about the writer. I think the photoreading can help us, but we cannot use just this.

- can you use it to find a common "deep structure" of a domain you know nothing
about, by photoreading some books out of that domain

Yes, it is possible.
 
_ what is the relation between photoreading and NLP, since I noticed that Paul
Hobbs teaches photoreading in 3 days to NLP-ers?

In Photoreading you use the unconsciousnes. Good suggestions can help us, for instance, NLP can help when we make anchors in a good state.

- For me, in my learning strategy, reading a book is the first step: to gain
knowledge.  After that, I have to spend some time experimenting, connecting to
my own experience, observing others... Any idea how photoreading fits into this?

Patrick, you can read a main book about some subject, and photoread others less important

Happy with all answers I can get...

Happines is when we can help a friend.

See you,
