Curious Easy Grip Book Holder and Page Keeper Gadget [Korean Gadgetry Overkill]

Once in a while we come across a gadget that serves merely, it would seem, to offer a needlessly overcomplicated solution to what is, in all fairness, a fairly simple issue but this Easy Grip Book Holder and Page Keeper Gadget is undoubtedly in a league all of its own in terms of absolute absurdity.

Designed to clip onto a book of your choice, the ABS plastic Easy Grip not only comes with a thread to mark the page you’re presently reading (lest you forget it having put the book down) but also a fabric handle allowing you to hold your book in a somewhat bag-like fashion as you transport it from, say, the kitchen to the living room.

As needlessly inventive as this curious device is, however, we cannot help but think that the designers have missed a trick in not adding a mini LED to facilitate a little night reading.

A seriously strong contender for this year’s ‘Most Absurd Gadget Award’ should we ever get round to having one, the Easy Grip Book Holder is yours for just short of $10 / (€6 / £5).
