Interesting.
I have a Nook Color, and I must say, the weight and the slippery bottom means it will slide down and fall over if I just try to prop it up against a pillow -- the "lip" of these book rests is actually necessary to keep it up. As for a bean bag, I've had bad luck with those -- the beads settle and POP heavy NC is flat on its back again.
I actually use my NC rarely because it is very heavy for my wrists and I don't have anything that props it up reliably. Something like this might do the trick nicely.
I realize it's fun to rail against specialty devices, but is it possible that you don't understand why some users and devices need specialty gadgets? For instance, the hats with the built in umbrellas are very nice
if you can't hold an umbrella. Just a gentle thought -- something to think about before posting that a device is daft next time.
