Default 6 inch picture easel from Walmart makes a great stand for Nook Color

I bought a 6 inch black picture frame easel from Walmart for $2.50 to use as a stand for my Nook Color. The easel is open at the bottom to allow the right angle micro usb to female usb adapter (from Amazon for $4.49 free shipping. Low cost solution!

There's a small cheap metallic easel from IKEA that works great as an ereader holder.

Correct me if I'm going down the wrong path with this but to me the "full" Nook charge cable is a very tight fit and is prone to breakage at the smallest hint of mistreatment. If I can plug the unit into a standard cable using a third party brick and get a full charge by letting it charge overnight I'll save the "good stuff" for my laptop bag for when I might actually need a 3 hour full charge. As long as my battery indicator shows full in the morning I don't need a shiny green "n".

The micro USB male to USB female converter is useful for USB hosting of thumb drives, USB mice, USB hubs (powered and non powered), WD passport hard drives, USB keyboards etc.
