Kindle is a bit different since it's only real use is holding it to read but I get what you're saying. A right angle headphone plug works wonders too.

Yeah, like he said, the way I used a Zune (which had the jack on the bottom) and the way I'd hold a Kindle are VERY different. I'm with Christian in that I've had that exact same annoyance taking my phone out of my pocket. When you're listening to podcasts and constantly taking the phone out to fast forward or something, it's helpful to not have to turn the phone around every time, needing two hands.

Of course, this is all moot for me now that I have these.
