Too heavy books, is there any solution ?

Question: Too heavy books, is there any solution !?

I prefer to read while standing; it's strange, I've been told that before!. But sometimes I find a book too heavy to carry whilst standing, causing my wrists to ache!. Is there any solution to my problem, other than using paperbacks, which is highly inconvenient as I'm forced to buy hardcovers if the book is newly published!.

Are book-holders any good, or will they just increase the weight!. Don't recommend sitting down, I can't concentrate if I'm sitting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I think you answered your question - buy paperbacks!. I avoid hardbacks whenever possible, because they're murder for carrying while commuting or holding up in the bath!

Do you stand still!? You could buy a music stand or something to balance it on!.

I suppose if you're really desperate you could rip your hardbacks in half - that's certainly lighten things up o!.0
