Amidst the hoopla surrounding all the new e-readers, you may have missed a revolutionary invention for real books: Thumbthing. It allows you to read a paperback with just one hand, making it perfect for luxuriating in the bath with a book. Those who like to keep their books in pristine condition are also in luck, for the Thumbthing promises never to crack a spine. It also doubles as a bookmark, and comes in four sizes, to accommodate all thumbs. In this current economic climate, is it really necessary to shell out two-hundred-plus dollars for a trendy e-reader when you can have your very own Thumbthing for just four?
