Best Product For Reading Ease

.

Public Service Announcement:

Holds even large books. Why do you need or want a book stand if you have hands? Because you also have a neck that is really tired of supporting your head for hours while you look down at your books. (Random factoid: the human head weighs about as much as a bowling ball)

I know there are other brands and styles, but can be flimsy or hard to use. This is the only one I've owned that holds my law (and Bar prep) books and is actually useful. It's perfect on a table, desk or T.V. tray. A little more awkward, but still do-able in a recliner (place a couple of couch pillows on your lap under the stand). The benefit is that when you read, you look straight ahead instead of down and adding strain on your neck. If you're going through as many headache relief products as I am, you'll appreciate any help you can get.

I bought mine a couple of years ago at the Container Store. Didn't see it on their web site today, but did find this option:

I have the 14" version, but the 18" might be even better.
