For me it is. When I first got Speed Reader Plus I had it set at about 200wpm. Within a couple of months I got to around 500-700wpm - setting depends on what I'm reading and how tired I am. Factual stuff tends to need a lower setting than fiction.

My readers of choice are Speed Reader Plus for anything in English (my native language) but Microsoft Reader for German, which I have to take rather more slowly.
