How effective is it for books?

I think it would be a lot of effort if you wanted to copy very many pages. But for a short passage or two, it should be fine.

I have had no problems scanning pages from top to bottom on larger books. Smaller books have to be scanned from the spine to the edge of the pages side ways. It may take some practice to scan the entire manuscript on pages and to get the best speed. I use a class 10 chip. I have had only a few pages have "warps" on the scans. I am very pleased with this product, it has met all of my needs and expectations as a genealogist.

I have used it for documents and pictures. It is very high quality and I have been very happy with it. I'm not sure about books as I have scanned things flat without the middle being bent.

It is not bad, just make sure to get the page as straight as you can. over all it works good. just gets some getting use to.

Yes pretty easily depending on how many and how thick your books are. Now I will say if your books are of average size, you shouldn't have a problem at all.

I have not used it for books but, I love mine. Very durable and easy to fold and move.

I never tried one. If you have a full typical book size or bigger it probably would work, not sure of a typical paperback size.

I use mine mostly to read ebooks to be honest, but occasionally i play sudoku or make a shopping list and add a contact. Um... in the eReader format right now I have 43 books on it and maybe 4 or so in the pdf format (eReader files are smaller than adobe)

I use mine with my Nook Color all the time and it doesn't effect the page at all. I use it on my treadmill and when I'm quilting and reading - I've not found it bothers either books or ereaders!

I use it for all size books but, not for anything smaller than 4 1/2 inch width cover. Unless you want to force the book open flat, then nothing smaller than a 4-inch cover.

I suppose it would work from an appearance standpoint. I don't think there are enough shelves. Would certainly work for larger books.

Hello Julieta - depending upon the thickness of the book, I would say yes. This is really a nice tool and a bargain at the price. Blessings! Howard

I tried it out on a few books, and I have to conclude that the arms do a very good job holding the book open. I tried it on small hard backs (1"), thick new hardbacks (2.5"), and paperbacks ... they all worked well with this model. I have tried 3 different types and I like this one by far the best.

you bet! I use it for paperbacks all the time, and even my Kindle. In fact, it's really made more for paperbacks... a large hardcover would possibly have balance issues and tip over backwards, depending on the size and weight.

We use it for vehicle magnets and business cards. You could probably round around 100-150 sheets of paper. I doubt you could do a whole book, but again depends on book.

No, it is far too shallow for textbooks. Might work for paperbacks, though.

Yes, as long as the book or paper can be sufficiently propped open. Someone might have to set page holders, if they are needed. It may also be best on a table or hard surface.

It should do it easily. I got it because I was reading a large, and I mean large book by Stephen King and it held it with no problem.

I certainly think so. I read 4-6 books a week, and I am using this constantly. It goes everywhere with me, in my purse. So it is being well-used. I have seen no problems with it at all. Seems sturdy enough and IHAVE dropped it. If I were purchasing again, I would not hesitate. It seems much more compact than the one they show for the Paperwhite. I like it.

It depends on the size of the books, but with a standard book size yes it is great for a book shelf. I use it for all of my dvds and school books and it works great. My son has some childrens books for example, the larger picture books that I can't put in there vertically so I lay them flat and stack them and they fit. But if you're looking to store standard book sizes it'll work! And it looks awesome too.
