Rainbow Book Stand

Juniper Foo | Oct 17, 2005

Here's the ultimate reading gig for the lazybone couch potato. You don't even have to lift a finger… except maybe to turn a page. This gear lets you read or study in your favorite prone position, while an attached reading lamp means you can peruse your book anytime of the day or night without having to get up for the light switch. Better yet, since you're already flat out, you can always catch 40 winks in between chapters. That's the life!

Goes perfectly with the Internet urinal

Price: 19,950 yen (US$175.75)
Availability: osamanoidea.com
Device: Book stand
Basic specs: 82 × 43 × 2cm base, arm at 66cm when in use, 53cm when not in use, eyesight distance of 30-40cm, 4.5kg

Hence, I do not think it is a bad idea.

It looks like there are clamps on the pages. It's hard to tell, but I guess you have to unclamp to turn the page and hope not to clock yourself in the head in the process. Seems awkward to me. Also, $175.75 is a lot of money, though it appears that the cushion is included along with the lamp and book arm. I wonder how adjustable it is.
