Larry, that probably looks sooooooo dorky! I do it all the time, and love the convenience. I can cook, iron, slip the computer headphones over the BP earbuds to check e-mail, take out the garbage, walk five miles on the treadmill, change the cat litter--and never stop reading. It makes some disagreeable tasks much less painful, even if you don't have a convenient pocket or a waistband that isn't full of waist.
