I got this: http://www.staples.com/TechniMobili-...product_649642 back in June and it does pretty much okay - a little rickety on carpet at its full height, but adequate -, but I think what I need to do is dig out an old USB keyboard and find a stand I can rest it on at hip level.

Reading paper books/magazines standing would be right out, because there's no way to turn pages without raising your arms even higher than what a keyboard requires.
