Kindle works fine in bed. So does Iliad. Both are small and light enough to hold in one hand, though I usually prop my device on my belly.

I'm waiting to see if Cybook measures up to the praise it has received. Any device I've bought so far has been money well spent. I'd buy a Sony except most of my books are in prc.


The Iliad weighs 13.7 oz, the Kindle 10.2 oz and Cybook a measly 6.13 oz, so I bet I will enjoy the lighter weight while in prone position.
