MegaReader H.U.D. eBook Reader – the world’s first eBook reader with a Heads Up Display feature

Smartphones can harm your health, especially if you use them carelessly whilst out and about. Just ask this poor girl about her adventure with her phone, a fountain and some distracted texting.

Well now there’s MegaReader to the rescue, the world’s first eBook reader with a Heads Up Display, which uses the front facing camera of your iPhone to keep you aware of what’s coming up while you read. The feature is clever, but very much tongue-in-cheek, as you will tell from the hilarious video. The reader is priced at $1.99 from the App Store. Safe reading, y’all.
