Piotr Wozniak has defined Incremental Reading
https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Minimum_definition_of_incremental_reading
Incremental Reading is a proper noun. It happens to be two common words used together. "Incremental" stands for the main aspect of Incremental Reading which is incrementalism, but that is just one of the aspects of the method; there is more. That is, a methof of reading that is incremental doesn't make it Incremental Reading.
Piotr Wozniak could have coined a new word for the method so no disembiguity would be necessary.
The term "incremental reading" is nearly two decades old, and it slowly percolates into the awareness of users of spaced repetition. To ensure that no half-baked product can claim the title, please demand that the authors of software that claims to "implement incremental reading" comply with the "minimum definition" outline below

First Steps options
- spaced repetition
- extracts
- cloze deletions
- read points (bookmarks)
- priority queue
- repetition auto-sort and auto-postpone
- extract and cloze hierarchy in the knowledge tree (necessary for semantic review)
- easy imports from the web (at least HTML and images)
- HTML rendition (WYSIWYG)
- propagating images
Vital Options
- mid-interval review with a correction for spacing effect
- early review tools (e.g. Advance, Add to Outstanding, etc.)
- semantic review tools (esp. search&review, branch review, subset, etc.)
- overload tools (e.g. Mercy, Postpone, or similar)
- propagating references
- image download/localization
Other options available in SuperMemo
- A-Factor-based article review algorithm (or similar)
- processing attributes and formatting (e.g. extracts, cloze keywords, highlights, ignored texts, etc.)
- source-linking and hierarchy
- visual learning (image zooming, cropping, compressing)

- web search tools (e.g. for easy imports from dictionaries and favorite data sites)
- popular site filters (Wikipedia, YouTube, etc.)
- tools for automatic decomposition of data (e.g. article splitting, dismember, decompose, etc.)
- more formats for incremental learning: video, audio, mail, etc. Also: PDF, PowerPoint, and OneNote, although it is hard to demand this as part of the definition, esp. that SuperMemo fails to support these progress statistics
User experience is vital
mj wrote: Incremental reading was born in SuperMemo. I believe that nobody should claim to have implemented incremental reading without using it first in SuperMemo himself. The theoretical description is very different from practical applications. I believe that the text about incremental reading is very short, tools used in incremental reading are much larger, and the practical training for doing it well is even larger. This means that incremental reading is two orders of magnitude bigger than that was is written about it at SuperMemo website. I cannot imagine implementing incremental reading without using it for 2-3 years first!!! It is like designing a new sports car without ever sitting behind the wheel of any car!
