What is the benefit of such a stand?
For those who have small hands or arthritis a stand is a must for long term reading. I can't hold the kindle one handed for long and I can't turn the page with my thumb. I have to use my other hand to turn the page. So I hold the Kindle with both hands, after awhile my arms lock up and start to ache so a I use a stand with a pillow desk on my lap to read or I sit at my desk with my stand to read on my K3.

I also like to use it when I am lying on my side in bed sitting it next to me. I also read this way with a paperback.

Stands are also great when eating, when you just can't put that book down because it's soo good.
