So what are people using to prop up their iBooks?

I've read that using them flat on a desktop creates temperature (overheating) issues. Are there some good options out there to hold an iBook?

Also will be riding a bike back and forth to the office. What are the best iBook backpacks?

thanks.

Do a search. This has been talked about dozens of times.

Tempurature doesn't make a problem but a lot of people here are paranoid about it.

when i'm home i prop up the back of my ibook with an old dictionary about 3 cm thick. i notice the fan comes on less often this way. that's why i do it.

when i go mobile, it's not an issue. for me, the only time the machine (gpu i guess?) is taxed enough to trigger the fan is when i'm watching a movie, gaming or photoshopping, none of which i do on the road.
