Quite awhile back--probably a couple years, I asked on here about good book holders for those of us that have trouble holding a book to read. At that time I couldn't find anything but today on FB I noticed an ad on the side of the screen for book holders.

I am impressed! I'm wondering if anyone has tried one of these or something else to help them hold a book.

They also have a laptop holder that looks great to me!

Pricey but we are worth it!

I don't know which one you are looking at, but for a little more, I LOVE my Kindle. I never have the sense of using a device, I'm just reading a book. Having only one usable hand I can push a button and turn pages easily. It is light. I no longer drive but it is SSSOOOOO easy to get free samples or a new book, in 60 seconds I have it. I can read it anywhere - on porch, in bed, in my chair, etc., light and portable, holds an amazing amount of books!!!! The books are cheaper than buying "hard" copies, I can get magazines or papers if I wish. I'm on my 3rd Kindle. All my books and stuff are saved if I wish to re-read. I LOVE my Kindle. It haS TEXT TO VOICE ON MANY BOOKS IF i NEED IT. Font size is easily adjusted if needed. It's not that much more and does so much more if needed now or in the future. I know Aarcyn and Erin love their too. |There is no sun glare on screen if you read in the sun, you can take it anywhere. You can slip it in your purse. Did I mention I love my Kindle. Going to take my chair to window now, watch my bird feeder and deer feeder and read so effortlessly. Then I may go out on porch. If I don't know a word I can get a definition in seconds at bottom of page. I can highlight and save stuff I think. I am tech impaired but this is so easy|!!! Did I mention I love my Kindle?

Thanks kicker, but what I am looking at is something that holds books, kindles, laptops etc.

My arms tire quickly.

we used a lucite cookbook holder (from kitchen store) fr my grandmother (post major stroke).

It cost me about 10 bucks and worked well

I'll have to find a picture of it, but my Kindle2 (2nd Generation Kindle) has a cover that has a book stand on it. I can set it on a table and it stands on it's own and I can sit and read without having to hold the Kindle.

With it's cover, I think the Kindle2 weighs about 1 pound. (without the cover it's about 15ounces....so the cover is about 1 ounce in weight because 16 ounces equal 1 pound)

I just got the 3rd Generation Kindle (Kindle3) about a week or two ago.

I'm still waiting for the company that made the cover for my Kindle2 to produce a similar cover (they had to wait for their new Kindles just the same as everyone else did) but the Kindle3 is smaller and lighter than the Kindle2.

I really love the Kindle3. I've been reading it without a cover and it's so much lighter than the Kindle2. I want a cover for it tho, mostly because I want some protection for it. I'm afraid I'm going to drop it, plus it's a little slippery by itself. But it's a LOT smaller than it's big brother. Still has the same 6 inch screen, but it's skinnier and lighter than the previous two generations of Kindles.

I did buy an Amazon brand cover from Amazon, just because I'm desperate for a cover for it, but I'm going to be buying another cover for it when the company that made the standing cover comes out with one. I've talked with the representative for that cover company on one of the Kindle forums and she says the covers will be ready for sale in about 3 weeks or less.

I really love all the Kindles I've owned. Gave the 1st one to my sister a month ago, still have my second one, but the 3rd generation one is so light that I really love it. Been having problems with my hands for a few months now, so it's great to have a lighter kindle to read with.
