Fast Reader
Read classic books faster, one focused word at a time — even offline.
Fast Reader is a free speed-reading app that shows books one word at a time, with one letter highlighted so your eyes stay still instead of moving across lines. 40 classic books are built in, and it works completely offline.

This technique is called RSVP (Rapid Serial Visual Presentation): words are shown in the same place on the screen, so your eyes don't have to travel along each line.
