Thank you so much Billy. Right now I'm reading some books I have in my office, using some book stands I had built, but I'm definitely leaning towards buying the Kindle very shortly.
What I need to figure out is how I can get a lap tray that will enable me to turn the pages on the Kindle using a mouthstick. I do have several small portable book holder's printer in before I had these new book stands built.
