Does it work for standard paperback books? Thanks!

Sure. It has flexible flat wire arms that hold the book. It will be bigger than the book but it will work fine.

I haven't used the book rack yet, but I think it would be plenty sturdy for a paperback. One thing I will suggest is gluing a little strip of non-slip rubber grippers on the bottom of the edges. I've have mine slip a few times from being lightly bumped.

I am not sure how wide a 'standard' hardcover is, but it would fit some hardcovers. They are pretty wide though. We fit a Nintendo DS with games and chargers in a slot. Our camera, adapters etc in there.

It certainly does (I also love it for a kindle or tablet). Keep in mind, it doesn't "hold" it, your book leans on it. But, all I have ever had to do, for large heavier books, is rest my hand on it, near the center and on the bottom, to hold pages open. Smaller books and paperbacks can have the pages "tucked" into the lip at the bottom and pretty much be hands-free.

I believe it can work for books on cassette the same way it does it for music. Hope you will be satisfied with the results; if not, you can always delete it. Good luck!

Yes, it can hold a normal hardcover or paperback book. I measured mine and here are the measurements: 10.5" x 8" x 3". It works great for us.

Not sure about paperbacks although it does come with a bookmark attached. I bought it because I am supposed to look forward also because of my neck. I usually just sit it on my lap or put it on a small table. There is a deep groove along each side that I suppose would hold a book.

I would certainly think so. The front hooks are adjustable; it should be no problem to use with a paperback.

I used it with a thick hard back book, "Truman". It occasionally needed a little adjustmenting but I was very happy with it. I've also used it with both soft and hard cover books at my computer when I need to type some information from a page. I've been very grateful to have purchased this item. I have arthritis and my arms get tired holding a heavy book so even when adjustments are needed it has been well worth it.

I use it mostly for my Kindle, so I don't have a lot of experience with paperbacks. However, I would think that it would NOT be very easy without taking the book totally out. Plastic bar holds the book in place well, but in order to turn the page you would have to loosen the bar, turn The page, and then reposition everything again. If you wouldn't mind doing that it could work. Hope this helps.

Not sure what is a "standard size book", but they fit textbooks. If you mean standard size text books, then yes. They stretch and can fit slightly smaller or larger text books.

yes it fits both paperback and hardcover perfectly, you need to fix it on 4-6 pages of the book papers for not to scratch the cover

Kinda sorta. I just tried it with a fairly thin hardcover book and it worked a little. It wouldn't work for me personally because I still had to hold the book open. Maybe if mine was "broken in" with books instead of my Kindle... I dunno. (Sorry I wasn't more helpful)

Yes, but you need to be very careful when you work with it. I used it for all my books.

Yes. I have several of these shelves & they are ONLY holding stacks of paperbacks.

In a word, yes. In the folded configuration, as shown on Amazon, the leather label that acts a stop is about 1 1/2 inches from the pad that the tablet/reader (or in your case a large book) rests against. I've used the pad to read one of my large hard-cover books (9 1/2 long x 7 1/2 wide x 2" thick) with no problem. The leather label on the pad is thick enough to hold the bottom of the book spine and outer cover. The pad supported a soft-cover book the same size as the hard-cover. Smaller paperbacks are a waste of time. Don't confuse the pad's ability to keep a book in a comfortable reading position with being able to keep the book open. My hard-cover book wouldn't stay open by itself until I got about 1/4 way thru it; as did my same-sized soft-cover/paperback. At about the 3/4 mark both books would close unless I held it open, which I can live with 'cause I'm not going to fold backwards and break the spine of any of my books. So, yes, it'll support large books but with limitations as the pad was designed for tablets, e-readers, and such. Hope this helps.

I use mine primarily for magazines and my iPad mini to keep the glare off the pages. So I tested it with a 700 page hardback novel and it had no issue. If it was oversized like an OED that would not work.
