The key point here is to understand is that your brain works really fast while your one-word-at-a-time eye movements are really slow. As you've already found, if you streamline your eye movements, you're effectively increasing the speed of data arriving at your brain. Which, remember, is really fast. Some people can read a book in a couple of minutes! It's that fast!
When I used the word 'absorb' I was trying to highlight the difference between 'focusing' on the words and reading with less 'care'.
Glad to hear you've made progress. :)
