I have bilateral CTS and ulnar nerve compression at both wrists (I'm a
computer programmer).  I also read a lot, and I've noticed that reading
(holding the book) hurts my hands and arms a good deal, too.  To try to
lessen the strain on my hands, I've tried sitting at a table with the book
on the table (but this isn't good for the back).  I've also tried sitting
with pillows in my lap to prop up the book.  What do other people do?
Are there any nifty gadgets out there that help with this kind of thing?
