Sideways Books
Has anyone seen these sideways books? To me they look like a frustrating neck cramp waiting to happen. Bed Books is selling books that are printed sideways so you can lay on your side in bed and read the book without folding the book in half or craning your neck. My thought is that staying on one's side for very long isn't comfortable either...we need books that can change orientation at a moment's notice (eBooks potential here).
The 25 or so books they're selling right now are all in the public domain, or as they call them, "literary classics."

About these sideways books, I once saw a person
who set is tv on one side so that he could watch
lying in side position.
Maybe they will create a TV that has a menu that will turn the picture on its side?
