You should try PhotoReading ... the basic principle is that you 'scan' the pages once and then skim through the book in your mind, at your leisure, focusing on comprehension of the text.
Not that I ever learnt how to do this though, not even after I put a full 15 minutes of effort into it.
Concerning this kind of spead-reading; in my experience it's great for alpha-subjects (is that English? It means non-scientific in Dutch). I used to be able to read 400 page books at 40 (or 60, or 80, probably 80 because my memory is always exaggerated) seconds per page and still get enough out of it to pass the tests.
