Digital camera reviews of Fellowes Wire Study Stand-Silver (10024)
Digital camera Review: Ace little tabletop wire bookstand
Summary: 5 Stars
This bookstand is what any student, researcher, or writer needs, but didn't know that they needed. I had always had trouble with quoting, analyzing, and reading from my books and articles while trying to type up papers. A bookstand was suggested to me, and lo! has it helped me greatly. Now I can open a book, or rest a journal article on it, looking at it while I type.
A nice bonus of this stand is that it is double sided. One side has grips that come up to hold open stiff books. The other side is more for laying something against it, like a magazine.
A helpful device that you often don't realize you need, you will be grateful at how much assistance this little doohickey gives you!
Digital camera Review: Adequate bookstand
Summary: 3 Stars
I was looking for a bookstand that would not take up too much space on my desk at work, could easily be folded for storage when not in use, and on which I could read both professional magazines and my Amazon Kindle. This unit does the trick, but has its shortcomings.
I have the following comments:
1.There is no practical way to adjust the angle at which books or magazines are read. The only way to decrease the angle is by moving the back legs of this unit wider apart, but doing so moves the front legs closer together to the point where you cannot place a book on them. The reading angle is a bit more than I would like, but I have gotten used to it.
2. This unit works fine on a small hardcover book (9x6x1), but not as well on a paperback book of the same size. The reason is that a hardcover book stays open more easily by itself, and the front legs on this unit do not keep a small paperback book fully open; you will have to press it with your hands to keep it fully open.
3. There is no problem with a larger paperback book (10x7.5x1.25) since the weight of the book is enough to keep it open.
4. This unit does not really work with any book thicker than 2 inches.
There are other bookstands that have angle adjustments and hold books more easily, particularly larger books. However, those bookstands are more expensive, take up more space on your desk, and do not store as easily as this unit. Therefore you need to decide what your needs are. While this unit has its shortcomings, it is relatively inexpensive and easy to handle.
My primary use is reading my Kindle and magazines. For that this unit is adequate.
Digital camera Review: Almost, but not quite
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the idea that you can lay this copy stand flat and store it when not in use, and that you can even put a book in the brackets and it will hold it open while you type. (they give you around 1 1/2 inches). I also like that it's simple in it's design, all metal with plastic end pieces. The one flaw with this is that they need a piece going up through the center and topping it by about five inches since regular paper just folds over the top of the stand. I did remedy this by putting a metal ruler through it and it works fine. But even so, what was Fellowes thinking when they designed it? Just that one piece and it would be a five star.Digital camera Review: Backpack-friendly book holder for avid readers
Summary: 5 Stars
True, if your textbooks are incredibly thick (over 1.5 inches) or heavy, this isn't what you're looking for. But if you're a student/professor who likes to study at the coffee shop, you can't beat this. It folds, so it can become as thin as a book and fits nicely against other books in a bookbag. Great for holding books open while you're reading. I find myself using this contraption quite frequently when I'm copying direct quotations from books; eliminates one-handed typing or books on laps. Durable, too. I've had mine for years, and it still functions the same as it did on the first day.Digital camera Review: Best IPad Stand
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried other stands and been unhappy. They force you to remove the iPad from it's case. With the fellows folding stand you can leave the iPad protected while in the stand.

The stand also works great for holding cookbooks open
