Alright, this is in no way a hi-tech gadget. But still, it’s simply brilliant! If you read a lot of books, I’m sure you’ll love this. The ThumbThing allows you to comfortably hold your book open with just one hand. No more folding your book and breaking its spine, or holding the book with both hands. What you wish to do with your free hand now, is all up to you. 
At this moment, there is no way to get one online. But ThumbThing has put up a list of offline places where you may find one. Abcstuff.com is currently selling it at $2.95 each. Unfortunately, big thumbs won’t get to munch on chips while reading, as only the “S” size is available right now.

Wow, what a great and simple idea! Disappointed I didn’t think of it.
