Claim Text:
1. A method for reminding readers of fatigue in reading while using an electronic device with a display comprising the steps of: step one: detecting a reader's reading speed within a period of time by a reading speed calculation module while the reader is using the electronic device for reading; the reading speed is related to pages being turned and an amount of words being read; step two: triggering a fatigue-in-reading reminder module by the reading speed calculation module when the amount of words being read is below a first limit or is above a second limit, the second limit being greater than the first limit, or when the reading speed based on pages being turned falls within a range of specific values so as to remind the reader of fatigue in reading by pop-up windows, sounds, flash light or vibration at the proper time and provide the reader suggestions regarding measures the reader should take.
