Haha....

I don't understand it. Risk serious injury to catch up on a few pages? Not smart.

Audiobooks would suit the situation ten times better.

For safety reasons, I would much rather occupy my eyes in HK than my ears, if I were on foot.

Maybe the OP means that the people (ereaders) who walk while reading will soon be history...

Way too many cars there!
