I lay it flat on the table to the left of my plate/bowl. I then read.

I have one of these bookholders for cookbooks, and use it to prop up the reader while eating.

I wipe off the surface of the table to the left of my plate/bowl and just lay it flat there.

I am not allowed to read while eating when other people are at the table. Family rules.

Good point of not reading at table, however my wife and I have shelved that rule.. unless the Grandkids are around..

I use a miniature acrylic easel that I picked up at Pier One years ago to hold a 5x7 photo. It works great.

I'm never without my (prescription) sunglasses any more, and they make a good stand (if the lighting conditions warrant it - nook color = hard, shiny screen with lots of potential for glare).

It's rare that I have a meal with anyone less interesting than even a good book, but I normally eat alone.
