I'm going to be showing some content on e-readers at a conference in a few weeks and I'm trying to figure out the best way to leave the different devices on the table in my booth and not have them stolen.

My first thought was to build a tabletop with holes cut in it, so people could play around with them but not take them anywhere. I'm leaning away from that idea now though, just because I feel the experience is better if people can hold them in their hands.

I'll have an iPad, a color Nook, and a Kindle. The Nook Color has a little notch in it that I could run a cable through, so that shouldn't be any problem. I know iPad locks exist, so I could just buy something like that. As for the Kindle though, I have no real ideas. Anybody out there have any?
