Another reason to read on a kindle. Just put it in a stand or lie it down. Happy reading again

Yup. Aaaand, I almost got a pressure injury from a hardcover pressed on my mouth for half the night. Lip was numb for several days. Lol. I fell asleep. Woke up in the middle of the night from discomfort.

I put a pillow on my lap and prop my book on it. Makes for easier marathon reading sessions.

I usually lie down to read.. After some time it starts to hurt, then I have to sit up. After some time it hurts so I lie down again???

@Kelly There is a plastic insert inside to keep the shape. I use it upside down sometimes with oasis.

All the time when I would lay down and read so I got me a pyramid book pillow, I think it helps a lot.

No photo description available.

Not so much wrists, but definitely thumbs and index fingers. Can only read for about 20mins with a book 🙁

@Kelly It makes it hold the V shape for the book. I also travel with mine. It’s great in the car.

Some books are hard to hold unless you crack the spine and no-one who loves books wants to do this.

I’ve bought book holders to read books with. They work if I am at work having lunch or in bed and they help keeping the book open. There’s this other item I’ve seen on amazon that you just put your thumb and it holds the book open.
