I'm thinking of using mine as a 'table leveler'. It's the right thickness and can be incrementally moved around so the table leg can be perfectly placed on top of the ebook reader in order to minimize table wobble. If sawed in half - WARNING: First take out the battery! - one can level two different tables at the same time or at different times, depending upon choice and/or circumstance. Table wobble is a big problem in Peru, because they have only one, two, or three legs (and the tables are very tiny). Sometimes the legs are broken or they're of a different height, which creates an undue imbalance, which mushrooms into a whole series of possible problems. (I once saw a table without any legs, but I was unable to determine if the table was functioning as a table.) The problem with tables in this country is especially troublesome when trying to eat; but even more so when drinking a beverage of one's choice, such as a Pisco Sour or a beer. (I will have to be honest and state that, for some unfathomable reason, table wobble becomes less of a problem the more one indulges in drinking a beverage! A study should be initiated on this issue. If anyone would like to help me explore this phenomenon, please send me your money so I can fund my research. The address is listed below.)

NOTE: Please send double the amount, in case one-half of the money is stolen by government inspectors. That way, I'll still have the original amount you so kindly offered.

I hope my answer has helped in offering assistance to the OP's question.
