1. E-Reader, E-Reader Holder, E-Reader Remote

Every single day someone stops to ask me about my setup, and it’s the e-reader holder that really grabs their attention. As a proud bookworm, I totally get the love of holding a good paperback, but when it comes to travel and/or beach days, I’m a Kindle-convert all the way. With an e-reader, I can bring an entire library with me, minus the weight of lugging around a stack of books or the worry about getting them wet. Add in the e-reader holder and remote, and it’s game over—no more awkward page turning or trying uncomfortable positions holding a book. Just pure, hands-free reading bliss while soaking up the sun. Trust me, once you try it, you won’t go back.
