Accessories Kindle 3 Stand, cheap and portable

Hi All,
This is my first post; thanks for having a great forum.

Anyway, I came up with a ridiculously cheap and portable way to make a Kindle 3 stand. I made a post at Instructables here with pictures (also attached), but the gist is that you clip a small binder clip to the lower part of your Kindle 3 and place a chopstick through the clip handles. I put a business card between the clip and the Kindle to keep the clip from scratching the plastic.

Ingenious! I'm going to try that. Thanks for posting, and welcome to mobileread!

That thing is more smartly designed than 94% of all Kindle accessories. Excellent work, sir.

Very clever. That beats my $4 craft-store wire easel hands down.

Admiringly,
Jack Tingle

Very nice! And if you want to dress it up a bit, or personalize it, you can use a different colour binder clip and one of those fancy chopsticks:

Thank you very much for the good idea, nogre.

I love it! I've just spent way too much time looking online for a stand, but haven't found one that I liked. I have a cover, so I'd put the clip on the cover instead, and it looks like I could adjust the angle by moving it higher or lower on the cover.
