The bionic reading helps me a lot to read by giving focus points so I don't get lost. But the extension is messing up forms. In my case it was in a facebook post, the extension kept repositioning the cursor to the beginning of the text, so as I typed everything came backwards.

This is a great plugin. Simple, and it seems to work on every page, and within other reader plugins. For example, it works within the Just Read plugin. For me it's the best reading experience besides a physical book.

Good....and problematic. The good: it does a great job of making every page work for bionic reading, which I think really does help. The bad: I came across a number of times where I was no longer able to fill in web forms correctly. Characters just didn't appear as I typed them. They worked fine once I disabled the extension.
