The Book Seat - Cinnabar Red - The Most Comfortable Way to Read, Hands Free!

This is great for paperback books and the normal sized Kindles. It is very light, and if space is not an issue, would travel great. Material is soft and seems like great quality. This does have a little flex to the "beans", so if you have a complex surface it may not mold to it... but this also offers some consistency and prevents it from turning in to mush like many "beanbag" styled products. I think it's the right compromise for a book stand. I tried with an iPad Pro and that's a little bit too much weight; but that's not this product's intended use. For an adult, and in a steady environment, it works fine. I would not allow younger kids to use with an expensive iPad unless it was in their lap.

A good design and product, with just a small asterisk. That concerns magazines. It can't hold a full open-spread magazine because the far sides of the magazine will flop back so you can't see them. But this really isn't much of a problem for me since I normally read magazines doubled-over anyway, meaning folded back on itself you you're just looking at one page because they're easier to hold that way. I did try two sizes of paperbacks and a large, wide hard cover coffee table book and it worked fine. The best thing is that it indeed can adapt to my seating position, which is in a chair or couch with my legs extended on an ottoman. It sits up and holds the book just fine. I anticipate that this product will make reading a lot easier and more comfortable.

This is the perfect book holder for reading since my hands’ arthritis can’t hold books up to read anymore.

It works well but I almost think it could be a bit heavier, maybe weighted beans in the bottom or something just to "ground" it and stabilize it more. It seems a bit too light so it doesn't stay put well, especially w/a bigger/heavier book. But overall it works, I like the cinch bar to hold the book in place.

I'm so glad I took a chance on buying this to give me back the joy of reading actual physical books without worsening my already horrible hand/wrist pain. It's the best option available out of the many similar products I checked out. Yes, it's a more expensive option, but it's absolutely worth it. The book seat can hold hardcover and paperback books of all sizes, along with easily holding a Kindle, too. It helps that the clear plexiglass at the bottom is transparent so it doesn't block the text. I'm just so relieved to be able to not have to rely entirely on my Kindle. It's a little clunky turning pages since you have to pull the plexiglass forward a little in the process, but it's very manageable once you get used to it.

Buy this original version not the cheaper one sold elsewhere. It is worth the extra money.

It's a really good idea for a book stand. The shape and size is good and the plexiglass with string to hold the book in place is a very clever solution. However, the Book Seat is not for me. I got it especially to be able to read big hardbacks in bed, but the Book Seat is too light to support them! If you are not in the middle of the book, the seat will lean to the side where you have more pages. On top of that, the seat it very prone to tilting and falling on its back under the weight of book. You can make it work, but at this point you're using the same things to support the book that you did without the Book Seat. Overall, great for light paperbacks, but I would look for heftier alternatives if you want to read your heavy hardbacks!

My iPad kept falling but this book seat keeps it standing upright or even sideways. I like it for that purpose. It’s pliable so it works well.

Esta de buena calidad, me facilitó mi lectura al no tener que cargar el libro

Great product.

This is a wonderful little thing. My arms would get shooting pains from holding my iPad to read my books. Now my iPad sits comfortably in the seat and life is good and the pain has lessened. I will be buying my family Book Sears for Christmas

Could be wider and have more stuffing to make it firmer. The cardboard support could be a plastic or something stronger.

Love my book pillow but it’s too light so it easily topples over with any slight movement. I’m going to put a small baggie of sand or salt inside to see if it helps. Otherwise, the clear plastic page holder works really well. I would recommend this purchase.
