I like to read without glasses on. This means having the Kindle close to my face. Does this stand work for balancing Kindle on chest?

No. This is more like a plate holder. It's meant for a flat non-moving surface. It also puts the tablet at an angle that would be sub-optimal for reading.

Unfortunately, I don't think so. The device needs to snap securely at the edges & on Belkin's site, Kindle is not listed under the Quilted Cover page. They do offer other cases, however. Just not in this particular style. Good luck in your search.

It only stands on a portrait view, ideally for reading. Sits on the side for landscape, but with no support

Yes it would definitely work for a Kindle or any other tablet or reader. It is very easy to adjust to any preferred angle. I think it is a great design and very versatile. It is comfortable on your lap since it is like a bean bag sort of and conforms to the shape of your lap. I can't magine anything being easier than this to adjust. I also use mine to hold my pattern when crosstitching.

No, it only stands up horizontally but it is at a great angle for viewing. I realize you are probably thinking about reading books. It isn't quite as good for reading but it isn't really bad, just more page flips. It is a nicely fitting case with good protection though.

I use it for my Kindle and it is perfect. I set my kindle right in the opening you can see. It might hold a thin hardback/paperback, but not much more than that. I think you could prop it up but I don't think it would stay.

This is meant for text books and actual books with pages. So, if you're trying to prop up your e-reader on this, well yes. It'll stand it up but it's a bit much for an e-reader.

Yes you can, no problem. BUT when I open a book the front cover goes to my left. Not so with this cover IF you want the Kindle to not open up-side-down. Leave it on auto rotate and all is well after the Kindle is fired up. No biggie, just an obvious over sight that surprised me.

I think whether you have to bend down to read comfortably depends more on your height and the height of the table/counter you put the cookbook holder on. I haven't experienced any discomfort when trying to read using this product. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

I looked up a paperwhite and it seems to me the plexiglass will sit on the rim and not interfere with your vision. I use my book seat almost every night. Love your reader/knitter/coffeedrinker -- I could be reader/crocheter/coffeedrinker! But yours is more lyrical. Enjoy!

No, it sits in a depression moulded specifically for it. This, combined with the raised edges of the kindle itself prevent the strap from touching the screen. Also, as earlier replies have mentioned, the strap has a very soft microfibre/suede covering which matches the lining of the back cover. Works well. Cheers.

It has a fixed slight angle and no moving parts. So your Kindle would be pretty much faced up to the ceiling. I use a Kindle cover that folds into a "A" shape to hold it up- and it will angle your kindle on a surface like this. (I got that inexpensive and matching on Amazon.) So using those 2 things together, you could sit it on your lap without holding it up or anything.

I just bought one and it does well with the basic Kindle e-reader. I clipped it on and it held secure. The neck easily adjusts to avoid glare. I wanted to try this route as opposed to getting a Paperwhite Kindle. I am a new user of e-books and wasn't sure if I would read enough in dim light to justify the additional cost of a more expensive model. I bought my light at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 9.99 and the clerk said that they sell a lot and there haven't been any returns or complaints. I am just wondering about how frequently the AAA batteries would have to be replaced. I am waiting for an answer about this aspect. I just bought one and it does well with the basic Kindle e-reader.

I think so but, the closing latch on the side is not as strong as I would prefer. It often unsnaps. Also some of them have the magnet that turns the Kindle off, this one does not. If I had a choice I would get one that had the magnet

You can use this stand next to a chair and bend the the neck of the stand anyway you choose. However, I do not know if your Kindle will fit, an iPad 3 and 4 will work perfectly. In addition, sometimes the stand need something heavy on the base to keep it from falling over.

No. My Kindle slides right out. I would say the minimum diagonal length needed to use this stand is about 9.5" diagonally. The Kindle is only about 8" dia. This holds my 10.1" Xperia Tablet Z, which is about 10.5"Wx6.75"H or 12.38" dia. But it just barely squeezes in there.

Yes! I used it this summer for mine out by our pool. I even used it while floating on a raft. Works great and was a great investment to protect my Kindle.
