I cut a fan shape out of lightweight cereal box cardboard, as well as a stand and 2 minutes with a glue gun and voila! And the added bonus is now you also have an engraver if you're the type to draw using one. Hope it helps.

You can control the amount of air passing straight through - the rest would go up. (You might need to cut some cardboard to a circle, tape that to the fan, then tape the dryer vent thing to the cardboard.) This is about the easiest (and with no wiring) thing I can think of. (We have one attached to our dryer - in winter time, we direct the warm, damp air from the dryer into our house, in summer, it goes outside.) Cheers, and keep drawing. Dan.

It should also help things last longer because you'd be keeping delicate parts cooler. No need to even buy anything else. Plus, if you curved a piece of cardboard around the right way, you could direct some of the airflow from the back to the top of the screen and down across the viewing surface. So just a bit more airflow to keep hands dry and comfy without being too frigid, and you'd be cooling down the whole tablet to boot. :) You could even just try one of those laptop mat coolers attached to the back to cool the whole thing too.
