Is this holder good for small paperback books
1155137
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.

yes. at the moment, i am reading a small paperback book while using the bookstand. but, before reading a new paperback, i always take the time to fold back each page. this way the book stays more "flat" and is easier to handle, whether in a bookstand or in your hand.

They just fit. I am able to do it, but sometimes the holding clips are covering words, but it works. So far, I am liking this stand. It is worth it. I think my only negative is that is doesn't flatten better. Folded it is about 2 inches thick.

I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback. We didn't try that on the stand. It is very stable and holds a large, heavier hardback extremely well. Tipping over is not a problem at all, and the small plastic "stops" along the bottom hold the book in place well, yet it is easy to turn pages. My sister, who has Parkinson's, and is confined to a wheel chair, can use the stand very easily. I think the stand would be steady enough and not tip over, no matter what weight of book is used with it, even a paperback. But I'll have to look at it again to see if it makes a difference that the paperback is a smaller book. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback.

I bought an acrylic book holder on ebay. You can check there. Read sellers reviews before purchase.

I am not sure? I don't have one of those...It would depend on the size?? It is a very nice product!! I really like mine! I would just measure the dementions of your book and then check the dementions of the product.

Depends on size of book, but mostly, yes. Shelves are adjustable and depth is good for paperback size.

Yes - I would think it would work fine for paperbacks ! Since it sits on your lap, you could just put it on a pillow to make it higher and less neck bending.

Hadn't thought of that one. Tried it with a couple of different sized books and it holds them, but not well. The tab at the bottom that holds the iPads isn't big or wide enough to keep the book from wobbling or falling over backwards. It can be used with a book, but it aggravating...hope that helps.

I have paperback books on mine. The adjustable shelves are very thin. So I am not sure about them holding the weight of bottles. The main shelves should be fine.

I have not used it for books but it is study enough to hold them. The shelves are only around 6" deep so you would be limited to the size of book you could put in it.

Definitely not big enough for a paperback book. Personally, I put sunglasses, wallet, and similar sized items in there. Plenty of other pockets inside for your books though.

Yes, It has little pop up lip at the bottom that would hold a book secure. About a half an inch in depth

You can fit a mass market paperback in it, as long as it's not a really thick one, but it will not fit most hard cover or larger sized paperback books. I hope this helps.

It is stable enough to hold that size book, however, for a book that size I would purchase the largest size available. I "think" that might be the Freezia; the shelf where the bottom of the book stands is wider and would be more sufficient for the size book you want to use. The Jasmine has about 1.5 inch shelf. Those little page holders will hold your pages in place without damaging them. I hope this helps.

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.

I'm not sure. I don't think that the book holder itself is wide enough. There are 2 side sections but maybe if the rack goes to the end like the photo, it will sit above the side dividers. I've never used it for that.

I would think so depending on the thickness and weight. I wouldn't expect it to hold on an Enc. Brit., but smaller paperbacks should be fine.

I don't know that i would use them to hold textbooks sized but maybe paperback novels. I haven't put a whole lot of weight on mine since i use them at artist alley. The times i have used it for heavier storage it has not batted a eyelash though. As long as you don't weight it with 30 math books you should be alright.

Of course, but if you'll need to use the pages holders and the book is thinner than half and inch it may not push the page down tightly against the back of the stand. It will still hold the page back though. How small of a book are we talking?
