The Book Seat has transformed my reading experience and deserves every bit of praise. As a passionate book lover who prefers physical books, I couldn't be more delighted with this product. One of the immediate benefits of The Book Seat is the relief it offers to my neck and hands. Gone are the days of awkwardly propping up a heavy book or straining to find the perfect reading position. With this ingenious tool, I can comfortably read for hours without feeling any discomfort. The versatility of The Book Seat is another standout feature. It accommodates books of various sizes, which is a blessing for someone with an eclectic taste in literature. Whether I'm engrossed in a thick novel or a slender paperback, this product adapts to my needs effortlessly. The quality of the materials used in The Book Seat is evident. It's durable, well-crafted, and it maintains its shape and support over time. The convenient storage pockets are a thoughtful addition, allowing me to keep my reading glasses or a bookmark close at hand. In summary, The Book Seat is a game-changer for avid readers like me who prefer the tactile experience of physical books. It has made my reading sessions far more enjoyable and comfortable, without straining my neck or hands. If you value the feel of a real book but want a more ergonomic way to read, The Book Seat is an absolute must-have.

I developed some serious problems with my neck and quickly realized I needed to raise my book in order to read. Although I was initially hesitant about purchasing this, I could not be any more pleased. First, I like the size of it. It is not bulky and has a loop built in, so I can store it on the doorknob behind the bedroom door. Secondly, the color (olive) is very pleasing. But MOST of all, it holds my books at an excellent angle which I can adjust by shifting the inner pellets around. Paperbacks stay open and the acrylic band at the bottom will keep my place. Turning the page is easy once you get the hang of it. It works with all book sizes. When reading in bed, I do place a small pillow under it sometimes, just to raise the height, but this would not be necessary for everyone. The Book Seat is very portable and I use it in all rooms of the house. It would be great to use on trips. I have used it with my iPad but do prefer the Amazon portable stand for that. Using the iPad in the vertical position is preferable when using the bookseat but not impossible horizontally. It would be ideal for use with a Kindle. Almost hands-free reading. No aching arms. No strain on the neck. I'm purchasing another one for my elderly mother.

This is the most thoroughly satisfying purchase I have made in recent memory. I've got some issues that were making reading uncomfortable. 1) Arthritis - holding books open was painful. Now I don't have to! And, unlike other book holders with tension page holders that are extremely rigid and make page turning very difficult - this requires ZERO EFFORT. And it has admirably held up every book I've thrown at it. 2) Migraines - just using my eyes is sometimes painful. The Book Seat helps in two ways - a) I can put the book at the perfect height and angle so that my eyes, neck, and shoulders can relax. I was worried that the weight of the book would tilt the holder at odd angles - and sometimes it does! BUT - I can just squish the base and sides around a bit and can always get the angle back to right where I want it. Magical! b) The color choices are great for sensitive eyes. I looked at all of the colors and found the one that was most rexlaxing to my eyes personally (the green), and when I am reading books, I don't notice the holder at all. The way I use my Book Seat most often is on a table over my stationary bike. I can't tell you how much more exercise I am getting! And because the Book Seat isn't rigid, it's doesn't wiggle! Also, it hold both my Nook and my Kindle just great! I'm just in love with this thing. Can't say one bad thing about it.

I like the book seat. It works well enough and I can read on my side easier now. It looks nice, feels nice even if I rest it on my belly, and works as advertised. That said, the book I'm currently reading doesn't sit perfectly in the wedge, so one side tends to lift up a bit and it's kind of irritating.

I am a voracious reader of hardcover library books, pocketbooks, and reading on my iPad and Kindle Paperwhite. When I am relaxing in a recliner and trying to read, my hands cramp and fall asleep holding books or pads. My neck gets sore from the books continually sliding down. I have had many types of book holders/pillows, etc. and none of them has ever really solved these problems. That is until I purchased this amazing green “Book Seat!” It holds all types and weights of books and pads in the perfect position. The plastic piece that hold the book open securely holding the pages in place and makes it so easy to turn pages. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this book holder!

I just got this book pillow as a prep for knee surgery and reading in bed. This pillow supports either a book or my iPad with an acrylic bar that shifts into place to hold a book open or prop the iPad up. I appreciate the fact this book pillow sits easily in my lap or on my bed and doesn’t tip over when in use. It’s very lightweight to carry and looks easy to clean as well.

Comfortable holder for eReaders (Kindle, Nook…) but not stable enough to hold iPad without wanting to tip over backwards. Also, plexiglass holder on bottom interferes with iPad’s bottom button.

This book seat delivers on its promise. It is very well made and really does enhance your reading experience. It has helped me with neck strain. The one thing I would improve on is the plexiglass holder at the bottom that secures and keeps your book in place. I'm a fast reader so I have to turn the page frequently. Loosening the holder each time then cinching it back is a bit annoying. Perhaps the manufacturer will tinker with the design and create a tension holder instead. Other than that, I am quite happy with this product.
