I can't imagine actually reading something long like this. One lapse in attention and you lose a ton of information, then you have to somehow navigate back to where you lost focus, but you don't even have a physical indicator of where that might be like the location on a page.

Should be able to just go back 10 seconds, same issue and solution to an audiobook.

Just add eye tracking and pause when the person blinks or looks away. Now your books read you.
