Stupid Book Gadget #2

Thumbthing

Simply put the Thumbthing onto your thumb and place into the spine of the book. The two wings will hold the pages open more easily, making reading more comfortable. It allows you to read with one hand only. It prevents the spine of the book from being broken. When finished reading place the Thumbthing into the top of the book so it doesn’t get lost.

Thumbthings come in 4 sizes (small, medium, large and extra-large) for different-sized thumbs and many bright colours.

—Available from these fine retailers

What a great series! Keep 'em coming. They really are stupid.

I'm glad they remind you to put the thumb ring inside the book at the top so it doesn't get lost, just like a book mark!

I don't know what I would've done with it...

The day I can't hold a book open without a little plastic helper is the day I switch to books on tape.

Someone is getting rich. It must be nice to have all the time in the world to think up stupid stuff like this. Too bad I didn't think of it first. The sad thing is people will buy it.
