Dear experts,
Some background about myself:
I am in mid 40s. I am preparing for GRE and I plan to take it in July 2017.
My reading speed is generally below-average. My comprehension is also average-above average.
In order to increase my reading speed I have searched for a few training programs and those are listed. I have to admit I have not yet completed by analysis as to which suits me best.
So, does any of the experts here have any experience in these training programs and I will appreciate if one can share their experiences.

Nitin, thank you.
I will wait for others to give their opinion.
I am not hesitating to spend my money. But i am being careful that I set my expectations right based on what others experiences are.
Thank you once again.

In my opinion, the best and the most effective way is to keep on reading. I had noticed it quite objectively that during the period of continuous reading my reading speed increases. And it reduces significantly when I don't read for months / years.
It also matters what the subject matter is. Fiction can be read faster than the technical book or a book on Genetics, for example. Because there is a lag from brain to comprehend what is being read.
Your vocabulary also comes into the picture. So (while this may not be a right time!) i suggest you should read more fiction.
As you might notice from the profile picture, I am in mid 50s!
