Book stands
« on: February 18, 2012, 03:11:33 pm »
Do yall use 'em?

My neck tends to hurt after reading while my head hangs over a book.  Holding and reading a textbook is sucky, especially when trying to take notes on a computer or something at the same time.

I'm thinking this:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Smart-Book-Stand-Laptop-Holder-Portable-Reliable-Big-Seller-KOREA-/280749109970?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415df372d2#ht_10014wt_1270

Or this:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACTTO-Portable-Reading-Stand-Book-stand-Document-Holder-/170534853832?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b4ab5cc8

Wow, thank you for saying that Armin.  As soon as I saw it that's exactly what I thought.  It took me a bit of staring at it until I figured out what I was looking at. Haha
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

I think the first looks better, but you should check like, amazon reviews.  They're pretty good most of the time.
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

I ended up getting some wire one made by Fellows.  The front arm things are too small for my books.  Damnit.  Should've bought the fancy sex toy one.  Could've at least used it in the bedroom, then, too.
