You are familiar with the debate about the continued existence (or at least flourishing) of the book in the computer age. Here is a product – not new in concept, but hopefully renewed in its usefulness – that makes the best of both the literary and computing worlds.

Those of us who often make book notes on a computer are all too familiar with the awful neck strain that soon assails us. Perhaps we have unique styles. This is mine: I usually lean in and leftward toward the book, which lays flat on my desk, as I tap away on the keyboard. Then, almost unconsciously I twist my neck rightward to view what I’ve managed to put on the computer screen. This double twist has at least one benefit – it distributes the agony almost equally among several muscle groups in my neck.

A solution: Dainoff Designs produces several types of sturdy book and copy holders that enable one to view the book or copy and your computer screen on almost the same visual plane. One might almost call it an intimate relationship.

This model (the Atlas ULTRA) is height- and depth-adjustable.
