Keep Your Place While Reading
Reading long blocks of text online, it's easy to lose your place. Your eyes drift to the wrong line. You re-read the same sentence twice.
The reading guide adds a horizontal bar that follows your cursor. Move down the page, and the guide moves with you. Your eyes always know where to look.
