Reading Support

jesse_the_kI have difficulty reading print books. Holding them and turning pages are painful. My optimal reading distance is around 2 feet (any closer and my eyes cross). Here's how I cope:
When I’m seated:
The Atlas book stand, which handily supports anything from a piece of paper to a dictionary. I use this for newspapers, comics, paperbacks, hardbacks and my iPad for when I read the web and ebooks.
When I’m reclining.
The LEVO G2 tablet stand with dual clamp tablet cradle holds my iPad. The clamp is strong enough (and the adjustment flexible enough) that I can read it overhead when I’m lying down. I've finally updated to iOS 13, and I can now read hands-free: once I'm in a book, I can announce "swipe right" to get to the next page.
When my eyes are tired.
I read with my ears! What my library doesn't have, Libro.fm can usually supply me.
What are your reading hacks?
