I have a need for this.
When I'm on the treadmill, I tend to walk in the center of the machine where I'm comfortable (moving forward can result in knuckles being cracked on the support arms). But this is more than an arm's length away from the reading shelf! And since I have to have the font really big for easy reading... I find myself constantly moving forward and back to push the next page button (big font, more frequent page turns). With a clicker in one hand, I could stay in my comfort zone and read and walk... read and walk.
Read and walk.
Rock a baby with the eReader on my lap.
Granted it's probably not
much of a market, but hands-free reading could come in handy in many weird little scenarios. And if you read as much as I do... you're bound to come across a few of them from time-to-time and say; "Hey?! Wouldn't it be nice if..."
