This allows my unfocused and possibly ADHD brain to read developer documentation and other boring (and sometimes poorly formatted) material which keeps my bills paid, I am truly a fan of this extension and use it every day.

To the developer, James: I am a true, certified, tested, poked and prodded adult with ADHD and moderate dyslexia. My case is rated severe. Some of the doctors were curious as to how I have maintained a career. Answer that is being the first car in the parking lot and the last one to leave. Just because you suffer from the cognitive impairment disease does not mean you are stupid. I set the reading scale at 350 and understand every single word. You have no idea what kind of shock that is for people of my ilk. If the software is not in the hands of disability teachers, it should be. I had no idea this software even existed. My neurologist asked me a question after reviewing my test results asked me, "Why did they not they catch you in school?" response, "Doc, it was the late 60s and nuns were still beating us." (yes, I am not old). Actually, I had some really great nuns that were teachers after convincing my parents to take me out of an initial parochial school where corporal punishment was actively supported. If I had not been able to get away from there, and hook up with "real" teachers I would have had a much more miserable life. The use of this technology is like being set free from a prison. I do not know what the magic is, but I can tell you as a first-hand example, it works. I can understand why people use it to read manuals. Thanks for developing this platform that has made a huge difference in my life. Seriously!

Would love short cuts to open the reader. Ie select some text on a page click a short cut and the reader will open with the selected text.
