Reading Books in bed.

Kottke posts about: Bed Books, the revolutionary way to print books for comfortable reading in bed.”

As an avid bedtime reader (and pathalogically lazy person), I had been thinking about this for a while, and have a simpler solution that does not require reformatting the typeset of books, merely rebinding them.

The idea is to print sequential pages every other page until the end of the book, and then upside down every other page until the beginning again.
I.e, if there are a hundred pages, page 1 has page 51 upside down on the next page and page 2 the right way up on the 3rd etc.

That way you would only ever have to turn in bed once and you wouldn’t have to stand the book completely upright as with ‘BedBooks’.
