Hello mobilereader's. I've been a Nook reader for several years. I am very lazy and love the convenience of an e-reader over holding a dead tree book open. Shortly after buying my first Nook (the one with the little color screen down below the e-ink screen) I started looking for some sort of stand to hold it while I lay in bed reading. I couldn't find anything. I don't know, there might be something on the market for this now. I am a poor (meaning not very good) drummer. I took one of my cymbal stands and figured out how to make it hold a Nook (or whatever e-reader you prefer). Very simple. I cut a piece of 2" angle iron. Welded a coupler nut onto the inside angle of it. A coupler nut is a very long nut. Works better than a standard nut for this application because it doesn't allow the bracket to rock. Spray it with some paint. Then stick some adhesive backed velcro on it. Stick the other side of the velcro to the reader. I put the fuzzy stuff on my reader so it's soft when holding it in my hands when not reading in bed. I've been using this for several years. Works great. I leave the clamp loose on the stand so I can easily swivel it out of the way when not reading. These boom type cymbal stands are very stable and not super easy to move around. By leaving the clamp loose it's super easy to swivel away. I have no intention to market this. I just wanted to show it to other e-reader readers in case somebody else wants to make one. If you don't have the means to make one of these yourself I bet you could get a person at a muffler shop to whip one up for you for a 10 spot. The cymbal stands can be found at used instrument shops for about $40. Get a stand first and take it to the hardware to find the correct thread size coupler nut. I'd be happy to make the mount for anybody in Minneapolis/St. Paul for free. You'd have to buy your own cymbal stand. Let's see if I can get some pictures to show up here.
