Run-n-Read is a tiny wearable device that makes it easier for you to read while you're running on the treadmill. Developed by New York-based wearable tech start-up Weartron Labs, the Run-n-Read tracks your body's movements and transmits the information to your e-reader, which then bounces its text up and down to keep it in perfect sync with your eye gaze. When your head bobs up and down as you run, the Run-n-Read makes the e-reader bob its text up and down so that you don't strain your eyes or get a headache from running while reading.
The Run-n-Read is equipped with Bluetooth and connects with all standard iOS and Android tablets, eReaders and even smartphones. It is not yet available for purchase, but is expected to hit the market later this year.
