Someone has come up with the idea of printing text sideways in books. These "bed books" are designed to be read while lying on your side.

Bedbooks

From their site:

"An Invention Born of Necessity

It came to me while on a motor home vacation, when I just didn’t have the head room to sit up in bed. There was literally no comfortable position to be in – and that’s when it hit me! If the book was printed so that I could lie on my side, I could read for hours!"

Um, or you could just turn the book sideways?

Nah, I reckon it's a good idea. I often find it really hard to read books while lying down. What we really need is a paper-like screen, but that seems to be all hype - They've been on about it for years now.

You would say that, you weirdo.

At least everyone knows what to get Barney for Christmas now.

I find this works.....
1. find said book in audio format
2. illegally download
3. transfer to ipod
4. insert headphones
4.1. remove headphones, get up, turn off lights, have a pee, stumble back to bed, re-insert headphones, press, play, close eyes
5. listen to B list actor reading said book
6. fall asleep
