I bought my mum one of these for using in her kitchen and after she raved about it I dot one for myself, being an avid reader it was great for times that I wanted to read but needed my hands free, I found it wasn't too good with anything other than small paperbacks or if they were thick books but for quick reads it was great, the best use I have found for it is with my Sony e-Reader, this one is the perfect size, as a result this mini one has migrated to work and sits proudly on my desk where I have found so many other uses for it (with a clipboard it holds reports I work from and I have found it smaller than standard document holders both in use and to store)
All in all a great little stand.
