I was very excited to order this item as I'd been looking for something to hold my book while reading in bed. Often times I get more tired of holding the book than reading so wanted something where I could lay on my side and still read while laying down. Let me just say this thing works, but could use a lot of improvement in how it was made. First of all it's feather light. I thought it would have some type of heavy beans inside for weight, like the old ashtray bean bags (I'm dating myself) but this thing is full of tiny white fluff. It weighs less than a t-shirt in fact when the package came I couldn't imagine what it was it was so light. Needless to say, it is not stable enough to hold the book steady at all and trying to get the back of it to hold the book more upright is a real challenge. The clear plastic bar at the bottom is not wide enough to hold the book pages REALLY flat no matter how tight you pull the string. If you pull it too tight, you have to loosen it each time to turn the pages with ease. I "rigged" mine because it does work, just not well. I went to a craft store and bought two fist sized bags of colored glass "rocks" ... not sure what they are supposed to be used for but this thing REALLY needs some weight to stablize it. Not sure who invented this book seat but it could sure use some improvements. As I said, it does work, you can turn the pages pretty easily but it is not stable unless you put something weighty inside it so plan on spending a few more dollars for stablization marbles or something. Oh also, with what is inside this, it would NOT make a good pillow as advertised so it's not going to hurt it any to put some rocks in it. Hope this proves helpful!

This book holder was recommended by my hand therapist. I have severe carpal tunnel syndrome and am slowly recovering from CT release surgery on my R hand, will have to have it on my L as well, and in short am not supposed to grip books for any length of time. But I believe that I would like this holder even without such issues, as it is really handy. It works much better than I had expected, even with large and heavy hard bound books, molds well to sit at different angles and on different surfaces, and is light enough to carry anywhere, even to restaurants (where I have received many compliments and inquiries on where to get one). The only reason not to give it 5 stars is my one caveat: there is an elastic loop that can be tightened to fit the clear plastic bar that holds the book open and in place, which unfortunately sticks up and will cause a small tear in the page of the book as you turn it unless you are VERY careful in turning the page. That said, I still use it all the time and recommend it highly. I would give it 4 1/2 stars if that were an option.

I got this Book Seat Book Holder to use with my Nook ereader but it works for what ever you are reading. It works great for my ereader and I can lay on my side in bed or use it to read or even as a pillow while traveling in cars or planes. The plastic retention system is adjustable and does not interfer with the books or the readers. The Book Seat holds the reader secure and will work even if the surface is on different angles. I would recommend this Book Seat to any one who reads anything,anywhere.

To be fair, I bought this to use as an iPad holder to use for reading in bed. It really isn't ideal for that, but it seems like it would be good for regular books.

This is such a neat product! I a lot, but my hands/tendons often get stressed from holding the book open awkwardly, plus I can't multitask. Now I can knit or eat while I read, or have the Book Set hold my book open while I write a paper. Easy to use. Like the other comments said, I found this a little too light. I had to make a small cut and add some heavier poly-fill beads, then sew it back up [it has a zipper in the back, but I could NOT get it open at all.]

The only other thing I wish is that the angle in the back wasn't quite so steep, sometimes I feel like the book is tilted back a little too far, unless I have my knees up behind the book buddy to push it forward. Those two things are the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars. All in all, this was a great buy, and it's even better with the added heavier beads.
