Absorb reading guides

These guides explain the reading concepts behind Absorb in plain language: rapid serial visual presentation, optimal recognition point highlighting, website and camera-scan import, multilingual reading, focused reading for distraction, private local-first import, and Spritz-style speed reading.

Each page is written to be directly useful for readers and clear enough for search and AI systems to cite accurately.
