Anyways, my Kindle has helped me to fall asleep without struggling with all my thoughts, all I have to do is read until I fall asleep, so in a way, it has also been a remedy for my insomnia.</p> <p>Now to read the Kindle in bed, you would have to hold it using your hands or buy a stand or make one, motivated by <a href="https://blog.xkcd.com/2009/04/13/the-pursuit-of-laziness/">The Pursuit of Laziness</a> I set to create mine, but I didn’t use a piece of steel, instead I used a single box of cardboard I had in home to create one in minutes. :D</p> <!--more--> <p>It’s too easy to need much of an instruction, a few pictures and some explanation will do:</p> <p><img src="/img/kindle-stand/0.jpg" alt="a view of the stand without kindle" /></p> <p>So this part shows a simple piece of cardboard cut using scissors on the front, with the sides taped to the bottom (actually if your piece of cardboard is a box, it might already be taped in that way, mine was).</p> <p><img src="/img/kindle-stand/2.jpg" alt="a view of the stand's back side" /></p> <p>On the back, there is another piece of cardboard (I took the opening of it which already had a notch line, and the size fit perfectly).
