eReaderJoy: thoughts and news from Eolake Stobblehouse about the wonderful new platform of tablets and e-reading devices. Some say, one of the biggest advances to reading since Gutenberg (Okay, I said that).
In e-form, books have never been wider, cheaper or faster available, easier to understand, use, and carry, or more comfortable to read.

Wingstand
Wingstand, most compact stand for iPhone/iPad yet. (It should work even without keyboard!)
Oh my! I'm trying not to be distracted by the cup 'o Joe, next to the keyboard...unless it's a rollup?! (turbulence and upfront passengers, ya know?!) :-/
But oddly it seems that the people who don't worry about such things, don't get the problems from them either!
What's a "rollup"? if you mean the keyboard, it's an Apple Wireless keyboard. I have one. It's a gorgeous thing. Very small and compact, despite apparently having been made as a regular desktop kb, not a travel one. It goes great with an iPad, barely longer than one.

I know. It's always odd to me that peeps who don't seem to "think" much but, seemingly, "fumble" through life seem to do just fine and...the minute that I would think of something like this example happening, I'm already too late to catch my cup from falling! :-/ (hate when that happens!)
"Rollup... rubber keyboard?"
Yup! Fricken cool! Found one for a whopping $17! I'd like one of those! They'd probably be really quiet and...I would love the fact that they would be flat on the surface; not to mention being able to just roll it up, when you're done and throw it in a backpack, while traveling. :-D

Interesting. I'll try remembering that. Kinda like what happens when you meet up w/a porcupine, if they're a little...uptight! :-)
"The rubber keyboards sound cool,"
Yeah. I think it's much like the keypad on calculators, these days.
"...and I've considered them briefly. But I wonder how good they are for real typing.
Quiet, accurate, easy on the "finders," (hm...wonder how an author would have to write this silly made-up word to get across that it is "fingers" and not...um..."finders" (keepers, losers, weepers! lol!), skid proof... (are you sold, yet?! ;-)
"If you get it, tell us."
I'd be happier if you would just hop across the street and get one and tell me! :-D (I have no need for one, right now, see. :-) Unless you would like me to go get one; try it and then send it your way. :-)
I've asked around about the rubber keyboards, and many people say they are rubbish, with no tactile feedback. Some like them though, mostly for being quiet.

Funny...like an on-screen touch keyboard on a Pad or tablet ever stopped anyone! lol! ;-)
I was thinking, however, that, since the onslaught of touch screens, anything that has to be pressed "with intention" is probably more of a bother than most want to deal with, anymore; hence, the "put down" of such a keyboard! Personally, I'm sick to death of crappy hard plastic keys, meself! :-/ How's about a keyboard that is just slightly raised off of the surface, w/rubberized, individual "keys" that are pressure sensitive to just a certain light touch (much like the touch screen, of course) but...raised enough to allow a person's correct placement of fingers (like on a regular [boring] "old" laptop keyboard [sigh]).

Rollup... rubber keyboard? No, it's make in one piece of aluminium, like their new laptops. Beautiful engineering.

LOL! Speaking of planes (well...indirectly! lol!)...check this out! (her age; no radio! WTH?!)
