I have always read while listening to music softly with my MP3 player, while walking on the treadmill.

Before my reader, I had to take paper clips to hold the books open, make sure I chose the "right" treadmill at the gym (there are two kinds there, but paper books only sit nicely on the newer ones, the ones EVERYONE wants). Changing pages was a PAIN with all those paper clips. I normally had to use 3-4 to keep the pages from moving or being in the way. Plus, add on that I had to have TWO items while on the treadmill. My book AND my MP3 player.

I love that I don't have to worry about the pages staying open, that I can choose any machine now, and I don't need my MP3 player anymore since my reader has a music player on it. Changing pages is so much easier...although it would be nice to have some kind of remote changer so I don't have to reach my sweaty hands over and touch my reader...I mean, it's fine, but it would be even better with that added.

Love it, truly, love it.
