It is noticeable that many eReaders are used for
reading in bed.
It is noticeable also that many eReaders so used
end up with broken screens. Users fall asleep while
reading and either lie on the device or drop it off
the bed.
But no more; rather than spending money on a
sucession of
eReaders, consumers can now avail
themselves of the latest BorgCo eReader accessory,
the eReader Gallows.
Available in metal or wood, and a variety of finishes
to match bedroom decor, the Gallows can be
speedily assembled so that it hangs over the head
of the bed. From the tip of the cross-arm, a pair of
sturdy cords run down from an adjustable spring-
loaded reel to a lightweight eReader holder.
The spring force and cord length are adjusted to
suspend the eReader about a forearm's length
above the user. Very gentle force will allow it to be
drawn down to eye level; when released, the
damped mechanism slowly and gently lifts the
device clear again.
The two cords stop the device spinning round, as
would be possible if only one were used.
De Luxe version comes with a charging lead in place
of one of the cords.
