Reddit reviews Wiztem Cookbook Book Stand (Bookstand/Bookstands/Holder/Music) (Jasmine)

Hah use a book stand, tons of them out there for cheap.

Maybe something like this, and just drill a small hole in the bottom for cables.

This is the one I got :)

I've been looking for something like this for a long time: http://imgur.com/a/bkE2U (The Roost for Books / Notebooks)

I want to prop up textbooks while working at my computer.

However, $60 for a bookstand is bit on the high side, and I have a desktop, not a laptop. And textbooks can get heavy, but I doubt I'll ever run into a 200-pound book.

On the other hand, the collapsible feature is appealing for storage. I would be interested in a cheaper version of the Roost that might not be made of such strong materials, but is meant only to hold books.

Just thought I'd mention it, if you ever saw the demand.

I know, just like how redditors pointed out other notebook stand options, there are options for books. But they are either like this (not cheap, sturdy, but take up a lot of desk space): http://www.amazon.com/Book-Stand-Bookstand-Bookstands-Holder/dp/B001J9SFXK or like this (cheap, collapsible and look like they can't hold shit): http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-Wire-Study-Stand-Silver-10024/dp/B00006B8HT/ref=pd_sim_op_1

you need a comfy chair: high back with big armrests upon which to place your book. and good lighting

or a [reading pillow] (http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=3732021)

or a [book rest] (http://www.amazon.com/Hog-Wild-Peeramid-Bookrest-Navy/dp/B0019TGO6U/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1346747240&sr=1-3-catcorr&keywords=book++rests)

or a [book stand] (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Stand-Bookstand-Bookstands-Holder/dp/B001J9SFXK/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1346747240&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=book++rests)

I haven't tried any of the above except a comfy chair but just trying to cover bases...

I do stand-up reading, so I have a book holder like: http://www.amazon.com/Wiztem-Jasmine-Book-Stand-Bookstands/dp/B001J9SFXK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1425688562&sr=8-7&keywords=book+holder+stand
