We've recently purchased some iPads as a sales tool in my business, so I've had the chance to play around with them a bit. As much as I love the iPad, I too am worried about getting into a comfortable position with it for prolonged reading --- just a
little bit too big and too heavy, perhaps? The thing that I love about my Sony PRS-505 is that I can fold the cover back and free-stand it like a tent when I'm reading while laying on my right side --- I don't need to touch it at all, except to turn the page. It's so convenient and comfortable that I've often fallen asleep while reading in this position.
But where there is a will there is a way. The iPad is such a nice addition to the world of book readers that I'm sure someone will figure it out, or make a simple little stand, etc. Hell, a friend of mine knew the guy who invented the poptop for soda cans and retired a multi-bazillionaire. Maybe this will be the inspiration for one of you to help us poor iPad slugs in our eternal search for comfort...
