I laughed when I discovered this picture of a "peculiar reading chair" on Flickr.com. It reminds me of reading (usually on a Kindle or a Nook) while I get my 30 minutes of daily exercise on my stationary bike. Well, it's supposed to be daily.
Hmm, I see that picture says the desk part of that chair is adjustable to any inclination. I wonder if my stationary bike could be modified to do that.
That chair looks comfortable enough, for a classroom situation. But I think if I had one of those in my house, I would probably be gravitating toward cozier reading places, on the sofa, recliner, or bed.

Life & Style | In Defense Of All Old Things
Ok!
Are you ready for my next confession?
Here we go:
I don't love E-readers.
I have a real hard time enjoying books on my old Kindle.
Are you ready for my next confession?
Here we go:
I don't love E-readers.
I have a real hard time enjoying books on my old Kindle.
For me, reading books means relaxation but reading from my Kindle isn't relaxing for me.
You see, I spend numerous hours in front of a computer everyday, so the act of staring at another tiny computer screen feels like punishment.
Also, my old Kindle needs constant re-charging and it gets serious hot flashes.
Just give me the old paperback and I would be eternally grateful.
Maybe, I am afraid of what might be happening in the distant future; A library void of books.
It almost kills me whenever I hear someone say that they only take their E-readers on vacation since it saves them so much space.
In my case, unless I am backpacking across Europe or climbing Mount Everest, I can always find some space in my luggage for a couple of paperbacks.
Anyway, that is my two cents on this topic.
If you like to test drive this new technology, our library offers numerous pre-loaded Nooks such as (Bestsellers, Mystery, Romance, Non-fiction) that you can check out for free.
You can also download free E-books from our library website on to your E-reader.
Let me know what you think about this topic.
Signing off until next Monday- Panteha
