RSVP on Whoosh: when to use it, when to switch to normal reading

RSVP is great for skimmable prose and revision. For brand‑new, dense material, normal reading wins. Here’s a simple rule of thumb.

Use RSVP when you need pace

When you already have context—news, revision, summaries—RSVP keeps your eyes still and your mind moving.

Switch when depth matters

For dense, unfamiliar material, slow down. Mark structure, write margins, flip back and forth.

Hybrid approach

One RSVP pass to get the gist; one slow pass to lock it in. Best of both worlds.
