". . .while sitting at an inclined angle."
Wow. That's got to be uncomfortable, unless you mean reclined angle.
Anyway, why not scan your documents and carry them around in the Kindle itself. This is fairly easy to do, especially using a manager like Calibre. The Kindle will display documents in PDF or Word format, etc.
Even better, I think, is what I do for my medical appointments: I reluctantly leave my Kindle (Voyage) at home, and just bring my iPad Mini. It's like a Swiss Army Knife for doctor's visits. It has a nice case to protect it, a calendar app for easy scheduling of follow-up appointments, documents with my lists of Meds, previous surgeries, Doctor's phone numbers and all the other info that medical offices often want, as well as scans of insurance and various identification cards; it also allows me to record my conversations with the doctors and the staff so I can make accurate notes later if I need them (start the recorder, turn the screen off, and it keeps recording while it sits on the table). This way I just bring one device with me; so that I can read while waiting, I keep an ePub copy of my current books in Marvin (easy downloading from Dropbox, but you can use any reader, as Marvin costs a few dollars). And you can check your email and read the morning fishwrap as well.
I much prefer to read on the Kindle, of course, but the iPad mini puts everything into one nice package, and I can also show everybody photos of my extraordinarily cute granddaughters whenever the occasion arises. Boy do the nurses love that!
With the iPad mini I seldom need to carry along paper docs, but that's not usually required since all of my boilerplate medical info can be popped up on the screen in an instant, and emailed or texted to the doctor's office in the unlikely event they want a paper copy. If I have to carry along a few pages of paper, I just stick them in a file folder and it's no problem.
If you are big and strong, you could even use an iPad regular size, but I find them too big for my purposes, and too big to use as a reader.
Third method, and the least expensive: just put your Kindle and your documents into one of the many canvas bags with handles you surely have lying around the house, don't refer to it a purse, throw in a small bottle of water and a few pop tarts, and you are set for the day. Don't forget the photos of the kids.
