Hi, sorry for this weird posting but since receiving my DXG last week, with the (heavy) amazon cover, I've been waking up with muscular pain in my upper back - just below both shoulder blades.

This coincides exactly with me starting to use my DX to read in bed at night. Now this hasn't happened with heavy hardcovers before... Anyone else experiencing this? Do you people rest the DX on something (say, belly) while reading in bed or hold it with your arms extended? Trying to find out...

The DX is a great device, but it's kind of heavy, especially with the cover attached. I'm probably holding it like a laptop rather than like a book.

Thanks!
