Hands free reading for lazy bookworms


There are three places where I read a lot. My table while eating, my bed (usually eating as well) and on the John (after eating). I usually struggle in my bed and at my desk because I can’t get the damned book to stay open, or at least be readable while open. So far I’ve actually placed my laptop on the book, but here’s a cool solution, the BookGem!

It’s a simple book stand that has an easy to use mechanism for turning the pages. You still need to do this yourself, so this is not yet perfect, but it is much simpler than lifting the laptop, turning the page (adding half a pound of grease to the book), carefully positioning the laptop back and resuming the lovely meal.

The handy tool is small enough to put in your pocket (although you will look a bit weird) and is sturdy enough to hold most books. It is available through Cool Tools for a quite attractive $15. I really am thinking of placing an order, if someone has used one of these please do share your thoughts. (Found through Lifehacker)
