Reading in bed is (by our brief and admittedly semi-formal survey) the most popular form of reading, but is uncomfortable to do for long. You want to lie down, with your head on your pillow. But then your book or document must be lifted continuously, or balanced up on its edge and supported. Or, you can lie on your stomach and prop up on your elbows. In either case, your arms often fall asleep or get tired. You can sit up, but that is not nearly as comfortable, especially over time.
How can the form of the book be improved by the digital age to make it more comfortable in the bed environment?
We suggest the Scroll, a book that curves, rolls over, props up, cuddles, and cushions the way regular people do.
The screen is flexible and thin, and can be curved for easy holding in reading in one hand. Or, it can be snapped on to its pillow base to support your page at just the right angle. The scroll becomes a comfortable, soothing accessory in your bed that enables the main goal of before-bed reading: leaving the cares of your world behind, and engaging in a story. You can fully relax and forget about shifting the book from hand to hand, or having your arms fall asleep before you do. Digital technology allows a for thin flexible screen, wireless sharing of books and comments, and more. Take a look at the attached prototype pictures and specifications.
Further, the pillow docking/charging station allows for a braod array of product accessories to go with any decor.
