If you’re too cheap to buy a Sony eReader and too lazy to flip a real book by yourself, there’s the Japanese automatic book reader. All you have to do is plop down your book, set the page turning interval (automatic, or timed at X minutes), and voila, a machine turns the pages so you don’t have to.

Of course, your eventual blindness from lack of exercise and diabetes will prevent you from enjoying books of any kind, be it “e” or otherwise, so you may want to move around a little bit instead of being a lazy sack. Three thousand dollars gets you one of these. So we suppose and eReader may be the better solution after all.
