Thank you for reposting that, Larry. I saw it when the post first came out, and wasn't in a position to do anything at that time. I think I was out somewhere and didn't have a credit card number with me when I was reading email. Anyway, I just backed it. And if you don't have the stand already, one of the choices there is to go ahead and get the book reader and the stand for $35. Seems quite reasonable. Unless I miss read the thing, but that's what it looked like to me. Mary
