Selected properly, a book holder can reduce and sometimes even eliminate hand, wrist, arm and neck fatigue for readers, protect the book it holds, and protect the reader’s privacyfrom prying eyes. While book holders may be a necessity for book readers facing certain physical challenges, most readers believe they don’t really “need” a book holder. However, virtually every book reader quickly come to prefer reading with one once they’ve used a well conceived design.

Some book holder designs can also function as a stand to support and position a book for convenient reading without the need of any other supporting device, thus providing “hands-free” reading pleasure. Some designs consist of simple wire creations that clip onto pages of the book to hold it open, while others form stands for use on flat surfaces and can be folded flat for easy storage or transport. Other designs include floor stands that can be rolled from a favorite easy chair to bed to next to. Other designs feature spring steel inside vinyl covers in various colors and designs that wrap around a book to keep it open for reading and snap closed for protection during travel.

Other book holder designs can perform double duty as magazine holders, copy holders, newspaper holders, etc, thus extending the range of benefits its owner enjoys. There are book holders designed to float in a pool or tub for those who want to read while in the water, and there are book holders designed to hold your book attached to your computer or laptop screen. And there are designs to securely clamp to a table, counter top or desk to hold a book up to 5 pounds in weight while preserving valuable work space. These are especially useful for cook books, repair manuals, user guides, instruction or installation manuals and other books you need to keep readily visible when working, but where space is at a premium.

By buying the right book holder design, a book lover’s enjoyment can be increased significantly.
