Talking Suggestion - reading pointer

I want to make a suggestion for a reading pointer.

When my mouse scrolls over a word, it changes into a bar.

I read on my laptop monitor.

When I read, I use my finger so I can keep track of the text.

Using my finger increases my focus, which is necessary to read well.

Add some custom CSS to use whichever cursor you like, the dfferent cursors are described here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_cursor.asp
EDIT: This lets you try out the different pointer types: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/play...preval=pointer -- it also shows the code, but you want to use body NOT div.

Add the following:

Code:
body {
    cursor: pointer;
}
to make the cursor always look like the little pointing hand you get when you are mousing over a link.

Code:
body {
    cursor: none;
}
will make the cursor invisible.

Etc.
