Default Cheap Ikea typing stand

I was looking for a cheap typing angle stand for my nook color, and was only finding upright stands. So I headed to Ikea to find some inspiration and found a quick and cheap solution (and you can get 2 for the price even!

It's the Fixa Drill Guide, item 90101778.

I cut mine at the notch using a razor saw and it creates and angle perfect for me to type. The only thing I may do is add some rubber pads like you find on bookends to keep it from clicking as i type (there's a little gap, so it rattles). So for $3-4, I've got two nook color stands with about 5 minutes of work.

Ikea also has the 99 cent easel for upright video watching

The Raket Table Easel, Item 66451309

Thanks for the RAKET idea! I went to Ikea today, picked up 2 (one for home, one for desk at work), and they work great for the Nook.
