Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I have Sleepy Bedtime tendencies, which can be bad if I'm reading my Nook or Palm, because I fall asleep and drop them on my nose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You read with the device held in the air the whole time? My arms would die.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I am so lazy I want to figure out a way to make my nook flip the pages automatically at certain intervals. Then I could have it propped outside the covers and keep my arms underneath.

I believe this is why the "snuggie" and "slanket" were invented...

Amazon has a bunch (all?) of Andre Norton's Kindle editions for free/cheap. Some are sets of collected works, some are individual titles.

A bunch of those are already in the public domain, so there's no reason to pay for the bundled ones. I only found four of the free ones which aren't also on Project Gutenberg.
