I get that it's all hilarious or whatever, but there are readers right here with disabilities that affect holding an ereader.

And I am certain that is true. But when the weights being discussed are less than the paper books the readers are replacing... there's a certain point where harmless fun is just harmless fun.

Sadly true. OTOH, when you have people complaining about the weight of an ereader with or without cover—a weight that is less than the paper books the ereader is replacing—then I see no harm in humour.

John... are your noodle-arms the result of a disability or just a lack of exercise and protein? If it's the former, please accept my apology. If it's the latter PM me for a workout and diet plan.

I see a type of chicken-and-egg (or catch 22-ish?) problem here if the plan comes in the form of an epub.

The initial exercises start with the ereader placed on a surface, using a "wax on, wax off" style of touchscreen page turning to build up muscle. Only much later in the plan would I expect the ereader to actually be lifted with the arms and only ever with a friend there to act as a spotter.

I think you're getting confused with my other course for those wishing to get into the nautical career of Pirating.
Whilst we're on that topic I'd like to remind everyone that they have to purchase their own parrot, one will NOT be provided. |
