DIY Cardboard Kindle Stands
When reading it can sometimes be useful to be able to read hands-free, for example if you are making notes. The Amazon Kindle is an e-reader device that makes it possible to upload books, documents and newspapers for you to read. Constructing a stand for the Kindle can be done with a few pieces of waste cardboard. The finished design folds up easily to save space and allows you to read your Kindle hands-free.
