does it hold place with overdrive books

Yes it holds place or bookmarks. I have used Overdrive in the pass. Bookmarks is the primary reason I purchased the Mozaic

I never set it up to hold a book, so I don't remember if it did or not. I could never figure out how to turn a page with wet hands so didn't bother. My guess is that it didn't have a way to keep the book open.

Overdrive has books in MP3 and Secure WMA format. This player will play either one. I have used both many, many times.

Actually, I don't keep my Pro in the BookBook for long periods because it doesn't fit properly. I use the BookBook to store the Pro when it's not in use or to simply to rest on. I'm sorry that that probably doesn't answer your question.

Yes. I have many hardback books on this shelf, but one of the shelves seems to be curving a little over time. But it still holds strong.

I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback. We didn't try that on the stand. It is very stable and holds a large, heavier hardback extremely well. Tipping over is not a problem at all, and the small plastic "stops" along the bottom hold the book in place well, yet it is easy to turn pages. My sister, who has Parkinson's, and is confined to a wheel chair, can use the stand very easily. I think the stand would be steady enough and not tip over, no matter what weight of book is used with it, even a paperback. But I'll have to look at it again to see if it makes a difference that the paperback is a smaller book. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback.

I use it for large hard cover books, but I still have to hold it. the book rests on it and it is helpful.

I first bought a Coby -- incompatible with Overdrive. My only experience is with Sansa -- check BestBuy online; there was a good deal on 4 GB last month. It took me over 6 months to discover how to put Overdrive books into the Book section, rather than Music -- so, I am sticking with the Sansa Clip Zip.

I use it for my Kindle and it is perfect. I set my kindle right in the opening you can see. It might hold a thin hardback/paperback, but not much more than that. I think you could prop it up but I don't think it would stay.

Hi Gisela,I think it might but am not 100% sure, I bought it as a gift and I gave it away a while back.......it is a very nice sturdy book and hold lots of discs! I hope that helps you a little bit.Best Wishes,Amy

It does, but I wouldn't buy this thing in any case. It is useless except as a bike stand, and you can get much cheaper bike stands. It simply has no resistance. Even my six year old daughter says it's easy, and I found it to be a joke. The magnets are very weak. It's "made in China junk". I wanted to get a fan drive bike stand but couldn't find one. Don't wast your money on this. Period.

The cover of hardcover books and Piano keys yes (with use of attachment). It is quite powerful though.

I'm not sure what you mean. I have used it without difficulty with a hardcover textbook of 1300+ pages. It holds that solidly.

I used it with a thick hard back book, "Truman". It occasionally needed a little adjustmenting but I was very happy with it. I've also used it with both soft and hard cover books at my computer when I need to type some information from a page. I've been very grateful to have purchased this item. I have arthritis and my arms get tired holding a heavy book so even when adjustments are needed it has been well worth it.

Hadn't thought of that one. Tried it with a couple of different sized books and it holds them, but not well. The tab at the bottom that holds the iPads isn't big or wide enough to keep the book from wobbling or falling over backwards. It can be used with a book, but it aggravating...hope that helps.

The answer is yes. The Lap Pro was designed specificaly for use with books (both hard cover and paperback) by resting the bottom of the spine on the Handle and the covers splayed out, towards you as shown in the pictures on the amazon selling page. We designed it, we know what it can and cannot do and many positive reveiws have reflected this use, with no negative ones to be found to date. The answers below are based on incorrect speculation. -RC-

Yes I've used it with both large paperbacks and hardcover books, and it's word fine. I'm glad I bought the book holder, I use it on the couch, in bed and in the car.
