How to Add Bionic Reading to Kindle

Before we learn how to set up bionic reading on your Kindle, let’s first understand how it works. Bionic reading is an effective method that helps you read faster by using the way our brains process information.

Here’s how it works: bionic reading highlights the first part of each word instead of reading every letter in a word. This gives your brain enough clues to figure out the rest of the word quickly. Focusing on less text allows you to zoom through sentences and paragraphs more efficiently.

In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to set up bionic reading on your Kindle so you can read faster and smarter!

“Fast Font” Your Gateway to Bionic Reading on Kindle

You’ll need the’ Fast Font’ to enable bionic reading on your Kindle. This free font is designed to help you read faster by highlighting the beginning of each word. This makes it easier for your brain to process the text. There are three different versions of ‘Fast Font,’ so you can pick the one that feels best for you:

1.Fast Font with Serifs: A classic typeface with those little decorative flourishes at the end of letter strokes.

2.Fast Font Sans (without Serifs): A clean, modern font without serifs.

3.Fast Font Sans (without Serifs) and Dots as spaces: This version uses dots instead of regular spaces between words, which helps you focus on the spaces between words to read faster.

Ready to speed up your reading? Follow these easy steps to install “Fast Font” on your Kindle and start bionic reading:

Step 1

Grab a USB cable and connect your Kindle to your computer. Your Kindle should appear on your computer as a drive, just like an external hard drive.

Step 5

After transferring the font files, safely eject your Kindle from your computer. This ensures the files are correctly saved, and your Kindle recognizes the new font.

Step 6 

Open any book on your Kindle device. Once the book is open, tap the top of the screen to bring up the toolbar. From there, tap the “Aa” icon, which will take you to the settings menu. In the settings, head over to the “Font” tab, where you’ll find a list of font options. Simply select the “Fast Font” variation that you’ve previously installed.
