I know. (eyeroll) I'm assuming the whole thing's a joke. Did you see that sweatshirt on the main page? There's something deeply wrong about the concept of having to fight with the other person over who gets the third arm.
Yeah, that's a spoof site. On the other hand the book cover/mittens have me inspired to try to actually knit/crochet something like this--but I have to figure out how one will hold down the pages and also how to turn them without taking your hand out.
I could see something like this being useful for Christmas Caroling, thought flipping pages might be hard to do.
Perhaps magnetic bookmarks ... strong thin magnets on ribbon. The first would be 1 inch down the page, the second 2 inches, and so forth. Then you move a slide-magnet inside the mitten to line up with the bookmark you desire to pull the pages open.
Or, wrap the mitten around an e-paper book, and rig a thumb wheel inside the mitten.

How do you turn the pages?
