Display stand for reading kindle
This looks ideal for a way to not to have to hold your kindle but yet have it at an easy to read angle when on the go. Not expensive, but yet looks to be well constructed and easily portable.

Has he received it yet lestatar? If so how is it holding up for him? I bought one this evening based on what the page says about its rugged construction, but it's always good to hear from someone who has used a given item as to how well it performs. I remember my paternal grandmother having some wooden stands for pictures when I was a kid and thought I'd look round at Amazon for something similar which is how I found this one. Low tech it may be but as long as it works I don't mind.

Yeah, he got it and is using it on his balcony with his iPad and may start using it at the dining table when eating alone and mucking with the iPad.
I bought it in a market in Stanley - it was actually being sold by the vendor as an iPad accessory stand, but closer inspection revealed it to be pretty much a typical dish/plate stand. The one I got him is red and the rubber is standard semi-soft surrounding the metal frame, pretty much what you would expect for something like this. No sharp edges anywhere so scratches are low probability. It works quite nicely and is pretty stable on flat surfaces, which I think is the most important thing - he likes it so its all good 'Course I told him it was really expensive...lol Last edited by lestatar; 07-10-2011 at 01:06 AM. |

It does unfortunately costs $44.99 (in total) if I want one shipped to Denmark. Maybe Amazon.co.uk will get them in stock in the future, but I don't think so. |

I like those simple stands. I also think those book beanies are freakin' adorable.

I use Tuff Luv Multi-View Leather Case Cover and Stand http://amzn.to/qLcwgo - a pleasure to read though it's a bit bulky.
