Enjoy the carpal tunnel syndrome, idiot. Holding a book vertically and having a targeted point where your thumb applies additional pressure is going to eventually aggravate the nerve.
You're better off with a very small ereader, provided you want the mobility.

Then get a fucking book stand if you just read at home.

book holders are useful for textbooks: you can basically treat your book like a screen if you're not constantly flipping pages. probably good for old cookbooks if you're crazy into cooking.

>> No.11731008

>>11730964
e-ink readers have much, much longer battery lives and the screen is much more like looking at paper (far more viable for outdoor use and generally more pleasant to read from besides)

see if you can find some display units at local electronics stores

marketing non-e-ink tablets as e-readers is a perplexing practice to be sure
