Book Seat – Turquoise

Item ideal for book lover with difficulty holding a book.

Purchased this after seeing a recommendation (Tayler Earl of Good Books Lately and Wool Needles Hands) on YouTube, and am glad I did! Lightweight, but holds physical books, iPad, mobile phone, or magazines, etc. for hands-free reading. Purchased so I could knit and read (or knit and watch) at the same time. Has a back pocket and a carry strap. Tip the clear plastic page holder down to turn pages, or just scroll on your device. Very happy with this purchase!

When the book seat (don't like the name) arrived it looked way too small and stiff to be of use to me. I always read hardcovers and usually quite thick. I tested it with a famously thick book, War and Peace and it held perfectly. The see through page holder can stretch out as far as you need to accommodate book size. I would imagine a very tall book like a coffee table book would be hard to manage, but they're not meant to be read lying down. Second, I had the impression it would be really bean baggy, really floppy on the bottom to adjust well to all irregular surfaces. Again, it looked too small and thin on the bottom. But it works pretty well, and you'd have to work at it to knock it over. So it gets five stars for the book holding function.the only negative for me is the page turning. They say it's "incredibly easy" but that's not true. But I don't think it's possible with any book stand. You don't have to pick the book up, turn page and put it back in again. You leave the book alone, which is a plus. And pulling the page holder is easy, at which point you have two options. First, you can pull it down so it completely clears the book, then turn the page. This is what I do and works ok if a bit awkwardly with big hardcover books. I don't see it working with paperbacks without the book closing and losing your page. For those books, I think you keep the book holder upright and pull it out about an inch so the book can't shut, then you sort of fold the page you're turning up at the bottom to clear the page holder. Both options are easier than my confusing description, and probably as easy as it gets. But it's still a bit messy.I spent a lot of time on my one slight criticism, but as I said I think all similar products have that. Overall it's a great product.

Diese Lesehilfe ist ein absolutes Highlight.Endlich kann man wieder lesen ohne das die Hände einschlafen oder die Schultern verspannen.

Ein gutes Produkt was einem hilft Arme und Hände, durch halten des Buches, zu entlasten
