Actto BST-09 Green Portable Reading Book Stand Document Holder - 180° Angle Adjustable for Maximum Comfort and Efficiency

Linda DineenLinda Dineen: PROS: This is a sturdy stand! I use it for a Bible that measures 2 x 6.75 x 9.5" and isn't lightweight.
I like that the feet fold down pretty flat with the stand, so I have the option of just resting the book on it, instead of bracing it in (which I often don't find necessary to do).
The support at the back can easily be adjusted.
There are rubber grips/bands on the stand support and page arms as well, to avoid slipping.
The stand itself is pretty lightweight.
All in all, it works great and fulfills what I was wanting out of a book stand.

CON: It's on the bulkier side.

The only time I don't think I'd recommend this is if you're looking to throw something in a backpack or be on the go with often. Other than that, I consider it to be a great product!

Amazon Customer: I found Its multiple angles very useful in changing into different reading (books) positions for reducing the strain on the neck and back — wish I have noticed it earlier.

Juan C.Juan C.: El plástico del que está hecho es resistente y flexible, la pata donde se sostiene se nota bastante frágil pero aguanta libros pesados sin problema, la idea es que este en un lugar fijo y se manipule con cuidado para evitar caídas, es un buen producto muy practico.

Leod Mann: I have a book that is 2097 pages long (2" thick and 5 lbs) and I have had a very hard time finding a bookstand that could remove the weight and strain of holding it to read. I had purchased a stand on Amazon that cost $190 but although it was a floor model built of super strong metal with arms that could be used to hold the book in various positions, the platform holding the book kept sliding down from the book's weight. There was no way to tighten the arm supports to keep the book from constantly wanting to slide off the book's reading platform.

Then I found the BestBookStand Actto BST-09 Green 180 angle adjustable and Portable Reading Stand on Amazon for $10.98. I thought for that amount I could afford to give it a try and would you believe: it is perfect. The stand is probably meant for fairly standard size books so my 2097 page book creates a very small issue for me but does not in any way detract from my 5 star rating. It is an issue I can work around.

The issue is with the two clear plastic page holders at the bottom of the stand. Since the book's pages are super the holders are necessary to keep the pages in place. However, when I get to the high end page...

Julia: Using it for a while during studying process. Book stand is big and stable and easily supports 500 page text book. The plastic handles in front of the book that supposed to hold pages are a little bit too big and make turn of a page a little bit difficult. Despite this fact I love this stand as I can regulate the angle of the stand and it stays properly without any movement. Highly recommend to all students who spend hours while reading. No more neck pain!!!

Felicia: I purchased this on a whim right before I started my 3rd year classes, not realizing I don't use any of the textbooks (they are so ridiculously expensive).. I did however come up with creative ways to use it,
- It holds my binder with all my notes perfectly! I honestly didn't expect it too this product surprised me! The quality is top notch and the plastic is very durable the clear holding clips allows you to continue reading without having to change the position of the book
- the adjustable clip at the back allows for optimal readjustments
Overall I am so happy that I purchased this.. it makes studying SO much easier by having my notes propped up.. my neck has never been more happier!

pfcpat2: I bought this for the primary purpose of holding my Samsung Galaxy S2 Tab Nook tablet in both the portrait and landscape modes. I had previously bought the Amazon Basics Adjustable Tablet Stand for this purpose, but there was not enough support on the back of the tablet for me to use the upper left and right parts of the touch screen in either portrait or landscape form without it wobbling. AmazonBasics Adjustable Tablet Stand  The Amazon stand did, however, work fine for just viewing or reading. It also worked well with some games that I play, that this Actto stand won't work with. However, this Actto Portable Reading Stand works quite well when I am tapping or swiping, on the screen. It's solidly built and provides all the support I need to use the tablet either in portrait or landscape mode.

The lip of the stand is wide enough for my tablet in it's MoKo EVA Shock Proof case.  MoKo Tab S2 8.0 Case - EVA Kids Shock Proof Convertible Handle Light Weight Super Protective Stand Cover Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 / S2 Nook 8.0 Tablet, GREEN  Other stands for the purpose of holding tablets just didn't have a wide enough lip for my tablet with it's...

Anna: This book stand is a fantastic way to take notes while reading. It is also very good for keeping your neck at a more neutral position. The plastic seems to be a slightly darker blue than pictured. The back only has one adjustment on it with a clip to hold it in place. This adjustable foot allows you to angle the stand at whatever angle works best for you from standing upright to laying almost completely flat. There are plastic orange rings on the foot to keep the stand from sliding. The adjustable bar at the back also allows for easier storage. There is a slight curve to the back of this book stand which seems to help hold the book in a little more of a natural way instead of bending the spine of the book flat.

As far as holding the book pages in place there are clear plastic L shaped holders that pivot to accommodate the book.When they are closest to the center they are the farthest from the stand; to hold the book pages in place you slide them towards the outside of the sand and they pivot closer to the pages of the book. These also have orange plastic rings to keep them from sliding towards the center while they are holding open the book. They do not fold down as one...
