books for lazy bums

I think I have a good idea for book design, but I'm not sure if it has already been done, or whether anyone else thinks its a good idea. A lot of my ideas don't seem to go down well, even though I think they are really good ;) It stems from the way I like to read books, which is a pretty lazy way - lying in bed on my side reading the book next to ( Read more... )

i can't know how you manage to read like THAT, for me thats the worst way :) Well..unless i had a special stand to hold the book open above my head the right distance and turn the pages ;)

Now there's an idea!

That would solve ALL your problems - you just need to have it so it can change positions with you, so it wouldn't matter if you wanted to lie on your side, your back... whatever...
