What our customer's say!
"Fellowes BookLift - Copy holder - platinum", This is a great book holder for a large, heavy soft back book. It is sturdy, strong and very well constructed. The rubber grips on the back keep it upright and in place. I tried several others that could not come close to handling this type of book.
"decent and useful", This book holder is made of plastic and seems a little flimsy, but so far it's holding up decently. The back stand uses two pieces, and is adjustable. There are two tabs in the front which you can move forward and backward so that you can turn pages more easily or insert new books without fear of ruining a page. They are also a problem. I have found that they can pop out from use as they only have a fitted notch keeping them in place at the bottom of the unit.
I can also see how a book larger than 2 inches in thickness can be an issue, as the depth of the base is roughly an inch deep. I've not yet had to work with this (I use it for typing up class notes from notebooks at this time) with a book of that size, but i can picture my coffee cup coming into play if I ever use it with a book of that size.
"Love it", I love this product, it is not only very useful for reading, and very adjustable, it's also very compact. It folds down and can slide into a folder or bag very easily. The price is right too. I've been looking for something like this, because I've hear that such things can improve reading speed. It's totally true.
"Simply Perfect", I consider myself fortunate to have found this as when I was searching, I did not know that it would be a "copyholder" and not a "bookholder".
This is well-designed. It has several different angle adjustments. It is quite robust. It folds down quickly to be quite flat. Especially appreciated is that the use of the fingers which can hold the pages at the bottom is optional; they can remain folded down. This allows ease in turning pages.
I use it every day to allow reading while I have lunch and I am sure that I am the envy of the other lunch readers as they struggle with reading their books in their hands or flat on the table.
"Fellowes Book Lift Copyholder", Fellowes Book Lift Copyholder - For Use with Textbooks and Large Manuals
I received this a couple of weeks ago and have used it periodically. For the price, it is a good tool for books up to just short of 1 3/4 inches thick. I don't know that it qualifies for large manuals and have not found it helpful for that, with the tabs on the bottom of the product. The tabs are about 1 1/4 inches and suppose they could be manipulated to accomodate larger reading material, but have not tried that yet. I would recommend the product with the above limitation.

"Good Value for the Money", This is an all-plastic book holder (like the 21140). The plastic is thick enough to do the job and does not feel flimsy.
The tab system in back works fine, but I think that if it were taken apart carelessly or maybe even with repeated careful disassemblies, that would be the first part to fail.
Based on my inspection/use of the item, I believe that the individuals who experienced immediate failure probably had been sent defective items.
I, too, wish that a reasonably-priced metal book holder was available, but until it is, this product provides good value for the money.
"I like it", This is my favorite book stand, it works for my law school text books and I like the clips in the front that can hold down the pages.
"Great product!", I really like this item, because it works with a variety of sizes of books or three-ring notebooks. It folds up flat, which is very convenient, but it supports a great deal of weight from the different books and binders I use with it.
"Great product", This is a great product. It is very difficult to find a good, useful, reasonably priced Book Holder. This one fills all these categories. I'm very happy with it (in fact I already had one at home, and bought another just in case...)
"Skip this one, and buy either BOOK BUTLER or ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER instead", From the perspective of one whose only hand suffers from both arthritis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I rate the ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER, the BOOK BUTLER, and the Fellowes Book Lift Copyholder in 4 areas:
1. Ease of putting a book in the holder
2. Ease of turning pages
3. Holder's ability to keep book open
4. Major Strength/weakness
However, I will first describe the ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER, the BOOK BUTLER, and the Fellowes Book Lift Copyholder:
The ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER occupies 7.5 x 14 inches of table space, does not provide any elevation, but does permit placement of pegs at various widths and depths. It is very stable, and cannot tip over. Its pegs are not parallel to the book's pages, and are about 1 inch high.
The BOOK BUTLER occupies about 7 inches of width and about 8 in depth. Its pegs are 3/4 inch high, and the pegs are parallel to the pages, which means there is only a very minor chance of pages slipping past the pegs. This would only happen if the book was very stiff or if it were a hardback whose cover extended much more than 3/16th of an inch below the bottom of the pages. It has springs to hold its pegs snugly against the pages. The BB also elevates the book about 2 inches above the tabletop. Its metal rod may be inserted to hold books at two different angles: 45 or 15 degrees.
The The Fellowes Book Lift Copyholder is 11 5/8 wide and has an adjustable angle that can be varied to 5 or 6 positions. It folds into a flat easily carried sheet of plastic. It has holes to fit it into a 3 ring binder. Its two adjustable clips simply fail to hold anything but comic books open.
1. Ease of putting a book in the holder: ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER: 5/5; BOOK BUTLER 3/5; FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER 2/5. I had no difficulty inserting a book into the Roberts Book Holder, while I did find it awkward to do so with the BOOK BUTLER. However, even with only one hand and it has both arthritis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I was able to put a 2 1/2 inch thick hardback into the BOOK BUTLER without much difficulty. It is only a matter of figuring out how to do so with only 1 hand. The FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER simply will not hold anything thicker than a small soft cover book, although putting it in was not too hard.
2. Ease of turning pages: ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER: 3/5; BOOK BUTLER 5/5; FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER 2/5. While it was easy to turn pages with the Roberts Book Holder in most cases, there was some difficulty when the pegs were tightly pressed against the pegs. Also note that the pages must be lifted above the pegs, and can rip if carelessly handled. Compared to the BOOK BUTLER, this was noticeably inferior. Turning pages with the BOOK BUTLER involved lifting the hinged tab with one finger while turning the page with thumb and index finger. The FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER's tabs are hinged, and therefore flip easily out of the way for turning pages. However, the pages simply will not stay open.
3. Holder's ability to keep book open: ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER: 3/5; BOOK BUTLER 5/5; FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER 0/5. As mentioned earlier, the Roberts Book Holder has pegs that are at a slight angle to the pages, which may allow stiff books' pages to slip past the pegs. However, the BOOK BUTLER performed flawlessly. Note that I primarily use soft backs but not standard paperback novel-sized books. Manga books work fine. The FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER fails almost every time to hold the book open. It would work fine with comic books as long as they are stapled in the middle and very thin.
4. Major strength/weakness: The ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER's major weakness is that its pegs are easily lost. Note that replacement pegs are available: Roberts Book Holder: Book holder replacement pegs - package of 2. People with severe arthritis may have difficulty handling the pegs. A secondary weakness is the fact that the pegs are not parallel to the pages, thus, pages are more likely to slip past the pegs than they are in the BOOK BUTLER. The ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER's pegs being round can roll away if dropped on the floor. However, its stability upon the tabletop is much better than the BOOK BUTLER, whose major weakness is its narrow 7 inch width that may cause it to tip over when holding a wide and heavy book. I just tried a standard college textbook in the BOOK BUTLER. Placing it in open to its table of contents was noticeably more difficult than it would have been in the ROBERTS. With the textbook in the holder, flipping from the table of contents to the index is awkward, mainly because of the transfer of weight from one side to the other, and would require sliding it so that the bulk of the weight remains near the middle. The FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER's only redeeming feature is that it folds flat, and can be carried in a backpack without being in its box. Its adjustable clips simply flip over with the force of most any book. It is worthless as a book holder. It pales in comparison to either the BOOK BUTLER or the ROBERTS BOOK HOLDER. It is only good for thin magazines stapled in the middle. I had one that I used for a few years, but it simply was not worth the money. Nothing would stay open adequately. My attempts to stiffen the clips were futile.
I have carried the ROBERTS in its box a backpack for about a year, its box is worn but it is still in great shape because it stores flat. However, the BOOK BUTLER does not fold flat, and I would not think it would be appropriate for a backpack crammed full of heavy books, even if it were stored in its box. I have used the FELLOWES BOOK LIFT COPYHOLDER in that same backpack prior to buying the Roberts. There were no problems in carrying it, but since it fails in its purpose, why bother?
Thus, for home, I prefer the BOOK BUTLER; I am keeping the ROBERTS in my backpack; the FELLOWES is in the landfill.
