There are already zillions of these around. Only nobody tells XD
Nice one.

I've been using my stand for a couple of days. I usually start with it on a pillow, then after an hour or so, I go sideways (it rests nicely sideways too) under the blankets, the turning point, after which I don't remember much

On the matter of turning pages, I wonder if we can't simply have something like this:
+ A program starts counting the time between page turns.
+ At some point, it figures it knows enough (average, std dev, whatever).
+ The next time around it writes at the bottom "turning page in x sec, press enter to disable".
+ If you don't do anything, that means you're ok with it, and it turns it for you.
+ Add a fudge factor so you're not panicking every time you get to the last line. Hahaha.
