I'm pretty strong. I can hold any of my ereaders in the air reading if I want to, but I still find it way easier to put something soft on my belly and rest the reader there. Making the weight totally irrelevant.

I get we are different, some like to read laying on the side, etc. I'm just thinking aloud here. :-)
If I'm sitting at a table, I use a stand of course. Sitting in a doctor's waiting room, a bit more difficult - it depends if I have a bag that will suit, but I still need to hold the device. Lying in bed, it depends on posture and angle - sometimes I'll arrange pillows to help, but that doesn't work when there's a husband in the way. I do need to have the device at a particular distance and angle, so it's in the right spot in my multifocals, so that limits placement.

We're all different. None of it's about "strength" for me, I'm plenty strong, I just need to be conscious of using joint preservation techniques at all times. Look after your joints, you'll miss them when they're gone.
