Please fix these

This app is great and I figured out that I can actually read at a pace of 416 words per minute however there are a few things I would like you to fix about it. First, please add more interesting books I can almost never find anything interesting and second, please make it so that the non-pros don’t only get one book at least add a few more. If these get fixed I would rate it a 5 star however for now I will rate it a 3 star for these reasons

exciting

the app is a useful tool, the range of speed and opportunities to incorporate increased reading speeds can be improved- the current greatest words per minute is roughly 1,500 words per minute the Outread speed reading training app could easily increase this to 15,000 words per minute or greater
