Kreeder
My TBR pile is the size of my house — literally, three full shelves of physical books plus thousands on Kindle. I stumbled on RSVP speed reading and it changed everything: better focus, better comprehension, dramatically faster reading. That first year I tore through almost 500 books.
Then life happened. Kindle switched to image-based pages and the old extension died. So I resurrected it with local in-browser OCR. Kreeder lives again.
The name? Kindle speed reader. Kreeder.

Features
Core Feature
Adjustable Speed Control
Dial your reading speed from a comfortable 200 WPM to a blistering 1500 WPM. Find the sweet spot where comprehension meets velocity. The RSVP display adapts in real time.
Integration
Kindle Cloud Reader + OCR
Speed read your entire Kindle library in the browser. When Kindle switched to image-based pages, Kreeder adapted with local Tesseract.js OCR to extract text from the images. No copy-pasting, no switching apps.
Universal
Built for Kindle Cloud Reader
Speed read your entire Kindle library right in the browser at read.amazon.com. When Amazon switched to image-based pages, Kreeder adapted with Tesseract.js OCR to keep reading at speed.
Currently desktop/Chrome only. Mobile support would require Google Play and Apple Store developer accounts — a future project.
