Chest stand for kindle?
Because of back and leg problems, I like to read by lying flat on my back with pillow under my head and kindle propped on my chest. Ideally, I want to have something light that I can put on my chest that will hold the screen about 4 inches off my chest, at a ~70-80 degree angle (ie slightly tilted toward my face). Right now, I use a small pillow but I still have to use my arm and it gets tiring quickly (different physical problem). I plan on getting the pw so there will be no need to accommodate the buttons.
Ideas greatly appreciated. Especially simple and economical ones |

Prism glasses are great for reading while lying down. With them on, you can simply set your reader on your chest, and you don't need to hyper-extend your neck with large pillows. Some models will fit over prescription glasses.

Not economical, but you might be able to rig something like this up more cheaply than buying a finished one:

What about a "book chair" - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bookchair-Me...9171299&sr=8-3.
