Buy The Book Seat Book Holder - Blue Now
Hopes were high reading the reviews of the Book Seat Book Holder (BSBH) especially after my Levenger Thai Silk Book Rest wore out (I'd used it for 8 months straight with a broken wrist), but hey it IS silk. (However, I do highly recommend this Levenger product if you don't have to use it every single day for months at a time after an extensive hand/wrist injury!) When THIS product arrived however, I promptly found the Hardcover novel I'd been struggling to finish & plopped it right in the BSBH. Yes! It fit in the BSBH, BUT that's where any fun ended! There were MAJOR problems trying to actually USE the thing to READ my book, or as I came to find out ANY book of ANY shape or size, hardcover or soft!1st and Foremost: There's a long clear plastic bar situated right in front of where the book sits and held in place by a looped black elastic cord which is loosened or tightened w/ a snap and slide gizmo. You must slide it TIGHT to hold the clear bar taut to the book thus keeping the book firmly in place & upright, and then guess what? You MUST LOOSEN it AGAIN just to TURN THE PAGE! REPEAT these steps with every single page turn! UCK! Every time you do this the book slides around, or may fall forward if you're lying down, and if your tome is heavy enough: with the BSBH it may just fall right out of the thing! OUCH! IMO, MAJOR design flaw! 2nd, Try lying down to read instead. Lay the book back w/o using the plastic gizmo, Result? Mush around the shape of the filling, playing with the form of the top & sides to support the book by itself all to no avail! Hmm, just NO WAY to do get this this to SUPPORT A BOOK & READ, BOTH! All the BSBH can do is HOLD A BOOK! Now, that's useful for the price!
So, to put a fine point on it: The BSBH just DOES NOT WORK! Period. Don't even THINK about buying it as it WILL be total waste of your hard earned money! Yeah, I know, it's attractive, with little gizmos to draw you in BUT think again and: JUST DON'T DO IT!This makes reading in bed or using my tablet much easier on my neck! Very easy to use, adjustable, and holds the book or tablet well.I originally bought this for my mother who recently had nerve damage in her hand and has trouble holding a book now. Shipping somehow also sent one to me so I get to use it with my kindle. It's great. I'm not sure my mom uses it at all, but it does seem to work with books and magazines. I also got her the Peeramid Bookrest pillow, but that doesn't seem to hold heavier books. On this one, the reviews all said the plastic that holds the pages is sharp. Seems like the manufacturers could/should fix that. But it works fine on a kindle. It's squishy so I can change the angle a little as needed depending on where I am sitting.This is an outstanding product it "fits" all size books, Kindle's, and I pads. It is light weigt and is nowhere as big and clunky as others on the market. It was delivered as promised, I highly recommend this product.
