Because people come in different shapes, and with different discomforts and needs.

I generally read on my side, and my ereader is propped up in a easel.

I can't prop it on my stomach, even with a pillow, because my tummy is, uh, the wrong shape.

I can hold my Sony up in one hand, but my NC is too heavy - I broke my wrist a year ago and it gets strained pretty easily nowadays.

I say, if it fulfills a need for someone else, why make fun of them for it?
