What is best for books? What would be the best piece of equipment for that?

Most any MP3 player will work for books. A couple of things you may want to consider --- Where do you plan on downloading your books from? Many libraries have services where you can "check out" downloadable media and listen to books for free. Unfortunately, most of these services DON'T work with Ipods or Zunes. If you plan on using one of these services, check their website for compatibility. I also primarily listen to books on my MP3 player. I had an Ipod Nano (my daughter accidentally lost it!) and it was my favorite. I really miss it and keep trying to convince myself to splurge and buy another. My son has a Creative Zen and it also works well for audiobooks. Some of the lower end, cheaper units are designed primarily for music. With these, it's hard to access a specific track. So, for instance if you're on chapter 20 of a book and accidentally lose your place, then you have to "click" through 20 chapters to get back to where you were. On the better units like the Ipods and the Zen, you can go right to it. (for instance, sometimes I forget to turn the player off when I turn the car off and it's hours ahed of me) If you ever listen to more than one book at a time, make sure it has a bookmark feature. Otherwise you'll lose your place in book 1 when you switch to book 2 and back.

Yes, Ruth, it's EXCELLENT for reading books! It's also very compact for travel with your books. You'll be very pleased with it!

For this purpose, I use a typical, foldable tripod-like Music Stand, which cost about $12. It is sturdy but is light-weight so that I can move it around. I also use the Music Stand for my iPad3. When tapping on or swiping across the touchscreen with my finger, there is only a slight vibration. But reading books with the Music Stand is no problem and I can get very close to the pages if I point the legs in the proper direction. (On tables, I use a sturdy iron plate holder as a book & iPad3 stand, although I generally prefer to use the Music Stand).

It works VERY well to read a book. I have chronic neck problems, and it helps keep books at the height that prevents neck pain.

Absolutely! It is great with all types of books and works well with an Ipad.

You can hold a book with both hands but the bike is stable and comfortable and should be fine for reading. The bike is very good quality and relatively easy to assemble.

That sounds like a lot of books! Mine has held up well but I do not carry that much weight.

I haven't used the book rack yet, but I think it would be plenty sturdy for a paperback. One thing I will suggest is gluing a little strip of non-slip rubber grippers on the bottom of the edges. I've have mine slip a few times from being lightly bumped.

Depends on weight and number of books. I use mine for clothes and other light weight things.

Download and run Calibre. This is a free program for both Windows and Linux. it has both a converter to/from mobi and most formats, as well as an uploader to your device. Calibre is a great program that really works both to organise your books and make them work with your device!r00t

If the problem is the book is to large/heavy, maybe you can add some weight to the book pillow by unzipping the back and adding a bag of rice or something like that. Good luck.

I know those books are huge! And I don't know of any bigger book seat but I've made mine work for a 1,000 page dictionary by kind of sitting with it propped up against my knees. Not ideal but still somewhat handsfree.

Yes, but you need to be very careful when you work with it. I used it for all my books.

Sure. If you have a good WiFi connection and a service to get the books. One note, the speaker sucks so you will want earbuds.Also, our German Shepard just chewed my stepson's tablet... Cracked the heck out of the screen, but they tablet is fully functional so I have to give them credit for being tough.

Sorry. I was never able to get it to do much, but I'm sure it would do books. I love their older MP3 players. Especially the Creative Zen.
