Received my Sol reader this week and it’s one of the coolest products I’ve used in years (since Eight sleep, maybe?) 

Still very early, prototype-ish feel, but if you read a lot, it’s worth trying! 

Super immersive experience, but in a way that helps focus vs takes away from the content

Are they comfortable when laying down in bed and can you move around or do you need to be still?

Comfy, yes. You could move around but it would be weird because you don’t see ahead of you 😅

I enjoy reading before I fall asleep and holding an iPhone is not a good experience. But I also can’t see how Sol would work if I’m laying down on my side. The main benefit seems to be that it eliminates all other distractions.

Someone should create a video ad showcasing ppl accidentally dropping their phones on their faces while reading. It's always hilarious when it happens to me. Sometimes, I also realize that I'm practically stabbing myself in the chest while lying down and holding my iPhone 😅

As someone who has dropped his kindle on his face + woke up his wife with the light, the Sol glasses are a net improvement on both those fronts 😄 I read laying on my back
