Scott Young posted a very useful article a while back on Lifehacker about speed reading:

(Lifehacker post: lifehacker.com/software/speed-reading/how-to-double-your-reading-rate-246082.php )
There's also a follow-up article he wrote: www.scotthyoung.com/blog/2007/03/22/speed-reading-follow-up/ This adds to the points of the previous one, bridging some gaps on the topic of subvocalisation.
Here are a few other very useful links:
www.spreeder.com/ - a website which can be used to read things VERY fast, or however fast you set it to. This is actually really good.
If you prefer a downloadable local app instead of a website, here's another option: wordflashreader.sourceforge.net/
Here is another browser-based method which promises bookmarklet integration as part of its service: www.zapreader.com/
