Rant: My wrist started aching from holding heavy omnibus editions, but a specific grip adjustment fixed it.

My buddy Dave had the same issue with his thick fantasy omnibus. He switched to supporting the weight with his palms instead of his fingers, and it made a huge difference. What kind of adjustment worked for you?

Oh man, Dave's palm trick is solid advice. For my copy of that massive Stephen King hardcover, I actually found that propping it on a firm reading pillow on my lap was the game-changer. It takes all the strain off your hands entirely and lets you just focus on turning pages. Your mileage may vary with a pillow, but it made those long reading sessions possible for me.

Question if sore hands from reading merit this much gear talk.
