Read Books On The Ceiling. Why Not?

Wouldn't it be great if you could read books in bed... hands free?
The idea is simple. Anyone who loves to read books in bed knows you've got to make some trade-offs. You can't lay flat, because you can't see the book unless you hold it up the whole time, and that's way too uncomfortable because the blood rushes down your arms. If you sit up, it's easier to hold the book, but you're not as comfortable as you would be if you could lay flat.
The simple solution is a book projector that projects your book on the ceiling, so that you can lay flat on your bed and not have to hold your book above your head. There are some details that would need to be worked out, like a way to change pages by clicking a remote, snapping your fingers or using voice commands, but essentially it's something pretty easy to engineer.
I originally posted this idea a few years ago. Since then, it's become one of the most read subjects on the site, which goes to show you that I'm not the only person who thinks it's a good idea. At last count about 6000 people have read that particular idea and it continues to remain in the top 10.
