Great ideas.
Coathanger wire, while harder to work with, is less likely to deform in use than copper electrical wire which is pretty soft. Hobby/craft stores (sometimes hardware stores like Ace) also sell stainless steel "music" wire that is reasonably deformation resistant. Butt splices can be obtained without the insulation for a cleaner look or one can get tubing at a craft/hobby store to make one's own butt splice and just solder them in place (even cleaner looking albeit more work).
I find when "in the wild," the battery bump holds my JBL at an adequate angle for reading most of the time so a holder is not needed; it would be...ah...difficult to stuff in my purse anyway. At home I don't use my JBL; I read from my TV screen. But this is great for someone who does need a book stand. Well done!
