I read a lot of actual traditional books and have never found it a particularly comfortable experience. Holding pages open, turning the pages, trying to find a comfortable position, it's not ideal no matter how much you romanticize the smell or feel or cover design of real books. I've read a few books on the train via an iPhone and found it acceptable.

But what I'd quite like is a a clamp that attaches to the back of my chair or bed headboard and loops over my head to hold an iPad, Kindle, or generic unbranded alternative in position a reasonable distance from my eyes. Then to finish off I want it to flick onto the next page via some ingenious mechanism, maybe a keyword or eye tracking (even something geeky like a bluetooth clicker remote would be good) that doesn't require to me to lift my hands to the device.

I've seen similar in hospitals for TVs (which of course would be a second function for iPad like devices). Has anyone built something like this, either for sale or just jury-rigged for their own use?
