I pad

I have a lovely new recliner suite but I still sit on the floor ? So iPad is either in my hands on my legs ahead or on the floor at the side of me I have the kind of cover that folds to hold it up in 'up' position or now lying in bed its propped on my boob hand on top to stabilise it
My eyes are terrible but I just change the font size if needed

Hello watermeadow, have you played with your iPad's accessibility settings to suit your vision? There are quite a few adjustments you can make, you could set up the zoom feature so that you can zoom in on areas of the screen, rather than hold the iPad to your face. Here is a link that explains some of the iPad's accessibility settings:- www.apple.com/uk/accessibility/ipad/vision/
I beg your pardon if you already know all this, I hope some of the tips from other GNs help.

DGS has a stand for his iPad with a fold back base. He can use it flat/hold it upright or prop it up on the table. It also provides protection if he drops it ...

If I am watching something on Iplayer and sit at the table I use one of those deckchair thingy holding things otherwise I just hold the iPad. If I am on the sofa I just hold it, generally over the cat as he doesn't like being rested upon. (In fact he has been known to nibble the corners if liberties are taken).

I lie on the sofa , knees bent and prop it against my thighs with the bottom resting on my tummy

Can you prop yours up on your cat?

I put prop mine up on a cushion on my lap

I have my reading glasses on and the iPad is either on my lap or arm of my chair.

I've got a perspex book stand which I balance on a cushion, on my knees.

I have a mini deck chair book holder thingy which I put on the table in front of me to read my iPad.
