I love the bookseat! Super convenient, easy and comfortable to use. Holds hardcovers and larger paperbacks well. Have not tried a mass market paperback but I suspect it will work just fine for those as well. Definitely recommend!

This is great for paperback books and the normal sized Kindles. It is very light, and if space is not an issue, would travel great. Material is soft and seems like great quality.This does have a little flex to the "beans", so if you have a complex surface it may not mold to it... but this also offers some consistency and prevents it from turning in to mush like many "beanbag" styled products. I think it's the right compromise for a book stand.I tried with an iPad Pro and that's a little bit too much weight; but that's not this product's intended use. For an adult, and in a steady environment, it works fine. I would not allow younger kids to use with an expensive iPad unless it was in their lap.

I bought this for my Grandma who was complaining about how holding her books hurt her wrist and hand. Since getting this she is super happy! It is easy to use, and keeps her from irritating her hand and wrist. After hearing how much she loved it, I bought myself one, and it works great with a kindle too.

It's a really good idea for a book stand. The shape and size is good and the plexiglass with string to hold the book in place is a very clever solution. However, the Book Seat is not for me.I got it especially to be able to read big hardbacks in bed, but the Book Seat is too light to support them! If you are not in the middle of the book, the seat will lean to the side where you have more pages. On top of that, the seat it very prone to tilting and falling on its back under the weight of book.You can make it work, but at this point you're using the same things to support the book that you did without the Book Seat.Overall, great for light paperbacks, but I would look for heftier alternatives if you want to read your heavy hardbacks!

Love my book pillow but it’s too light so it easily topples over with any slight movement. I’m going to put a small baggie of sand or salt inside to see if it helps. Otherwise, the clear plastic page holder works really well. I would recommend this purchase.

It works well but I almost think it could be a bit heavier, maybe weighted beans in the bottom or something just to "ground" it and stabilize it more. It seems a bit too light so it doesn't stay put well, especially w/a bigger/heavier book. But overall it works, I like the cinch bar to hold the book in place.

This is a great product and holds all sizes of books. However, I read too fast so it is inconvenient to release the page holder to turn the page so often. If it was holding a reference book, such as a cook book, it would be fabulous.

This is a wonderful little thing. My arms would get shooting pains from holding my iPad to read my books. Now my iPad sits comfortably in the seat and life is good and the pain has lessened. I will be buying my family Book Sears for Christmas

This had been on my wish list for some time. I was skeptical about getting it and didn't think that it would be the right thing for me. You see, I tend to read while lying down in bed. I've been doing that all my life. In the past few months however, I had to stop reading because of tingling and numbness in my hands as a result of cervical spondylosis (osteoarthritis of the neck). I was devastated. Me not reading = a life not worth living. Seriously. So, I went ahead and ordered this, although I was still miserable, since I thought that I'd only be able to use it while sitting up. Oh my goodness! This is the best. I can place it on my torso/chest and read while lying down. I would say that it's worth its weight in gold, but that's not really fair, since it barely weighs anything. I'll be taking this with me whenever we travel. I'm so happy that I finally got this.

A good design and product, with just a small asterisk. That concerns magazines. It can't hold a full open-spread magazine because the far sides of the magazine will flop back so you can't see them. But this really isn't much of a problem for me since I normally read magazines doubled-over anyway, meaning folded back on itself you you're just looking at one page because they're easier to hold that way. I did try two sizes of paperbacks and a large, wide hard cover coffee table book and it worked fine. The best thing is that it indeed can adapt to my seating position, which is in a chair or couch with my legs extended on an ottoman. It sits up and holds the book just fine. I anticipate that this product will make reading a lot easier and more comfortable.
