ASVS Products Ergohold Universal Stand: Tablet, Book Stand, E-Reader and Book Holder, Read, Watch Videos Hands-Free.

This universal stand does everything as advertised. It holds books very well...maybe too well sometimes as the springs are very powerful and it can be a little hard to turn the page sometimes. But it holds your next couple of pages very well and makes turning pages easy. It makes taking notes as painless as possible. It also holds tablets and phones very well. I've used it with an Iphone and Ipad and it holds both great! With the Iphone you can just place it on the stand; with the tablets the holder grip it very well and it is quite stable. It also folds up nicely.

My PT told me that reading on my tablet or book on a table can be bad for my neck. So he suggested that I use a book/tablet stand to help with that. The strain has definitely gone away. I just find that this product is a little hard to use. But it's not a burden that I need to return it. It's just hard to open the flap that holds the tablet/book up. But other than that, good product.

This item is not sufficient for a college maths textbook. There is no grip on the base (where the book rests) which causes a lot of slipping. The back is also not very high, so any college size book seems like it would tip over easily. The page clamps are nice (but tough to use at the same time as trying to get the book to stay put. The legs in the back are cheap and don't have any sort of lockout feature. For the money, I'd explore other models.

Was very frustrating to use out of the box. The videos online make this seem very useful, however if you're book is not hardback and bound well, it will not work. Also gripping the book lends it to tearing the bottom of the pages. Will definitely be returning for a normal bookstand. Also any larger books will not be open flat, the pages will be floppy and hard to read.

I'm giving this product three stars because it does not work with heavy text books and case books that a lot of students who are studying either law or medicine or science degree use. The holder can handle smaller fictional or nonfictional books (paperback and hardcover, I checked) but anything over roughly 9 inches onward and paperback just sort of sag backwards and topples over. The heavier thicker texts which are hard bound and large hold, but the pages are very hard to turn so you have to essentially take the book out of the clincher things, turn the page, and then place the book back into the holder. Poor little guy, you're cute and pocket sized but I can't keep you. :(

Quite simply, the ErgoHold Universal Reading Stand is the best reading stand I have used. Easy to set up, it holds even heavy items safely and securely with no problem. The ErgoHold Universal Reading Stand is light-weight, compact and very sturdy. It fits easily in my computer case along with my Kindle for easy storage and travel. I have also used it to hold a medium sized cookbook for easy access to recipes and yes, its very easy to turn pages when set up correctly. I will be purchasing another of these great little stands for my husband.

Good product, it is slightly smaller than I expected. Not that hinders the operation, still works as advertised. Folds very nicely and compact so great for packing with my laptop and take it with me. Happy

I ended up returning this product. I found it really awkward to use - the spring that holds the pages open is really tight and I almost caught my fingers with it. The width of the mechanism which holds the pages open isn't adjustable and it's the wrong size for my kindle. When I was holding a book open I thought the binding was going to rip. I bought it because it was small, but the tradeoff wasn't worth it for the inconvenience of using it.
