Is this stand portable? Could I bring it with me to/from the library in my backpack?

I don't carry it around because of its awkward shape. Its so light you certainly could, but awkward when I typically have my laptop, a gym bag, and a book bag. If your backpack is not stuffed you could probably do it!The back piece easily cones off which would make it less bulky for transport.

Yes. It's a bit of an awkward shape but you can fit other stuff around it in the backpack. It is not at all heavy.

The platform where you place the music is one piece and does NOT collapse. I did NOT find this stand to be convenient to assemble nor was it particularly portable.

The bookstand will collapse flat but I am not a student and do not require use of a backpack, because I use mine at my desk all day, and have no need to transport it around, but from looking at the size it may be possible to fit in a backpack, but I would use the dimensions given and measure backpack to be sure of length and width dimensions, the depth once collapsed is not that much and will not take up a lot of space, probably about the same as a fairly thin text book. I hope this helps in making your decision.

Not designed to be portable, but not so big it would be especially difficult. It would fit in a larger laptop case and would weigh about as much as a 17" widescreen laptop. The scanners that are designed to be portable usually are designed to work with single sheets rather than books so I doubt they would work well for library trips.

If I were you I would buy and try. It can be returned. Having said that I caution that this is in my opinion a flimsy stand. Good for the recycle bin only. And I mean in the recycle bin - not good enough to hold it.

No, it is not portable or storable. Once it is together it would have to be taken apart to move.

I personally don't own an ipad so haven't tried it, but it's quite study, it should hold it fine. You'd need a very strong wind to knock both the stand and tablet over.The stand is great and very light. The one drawback is that it doesn't fold to a size small enough to fit in a backpack or instrument case, the folded stand is still kind of long and can't be disassembled further.

Yes, I agree with the other two responses. It is very portable and a decent size. I love it and it is very convenient.

I would say it is fairly portable if you are going on long trips by car. If you are planning on hiking or carrying it in a backpack I would advise against it.

Are there any stands that would hold books as well as iPad mini? Is my question

I don't recommend putting anything heavy on this stand. I only use it for my large books when teaching and never for any electronics. I personally don't feel it's sturdy enough for my laptop or projector without assistance. Hope this answers your question.

I would not recommend putting this stand in anyone's lap - it is too big for that. Since it is an easel stand with one side magnetic as well as dry erase and the other side with felt fabric, it would really work better to sit on something sturdy, i.e., a table, the floor.

I am touring and did not bring the stand with me. It is compact but I prefer not to put the stands in the case. I will try it when I return to Florida.

I would say reasonably portable. But be prepared to carry some weight around :)

Yes, the parent unit is definitely portable. I take it with me to the backyard all the time!

Yes! I would be relatively careful with it but as long as it doesn't get shook around a bunch its definitely small enough and durable enough to be portable.

Yes, no problem. I've had it for over a year and have used it with books larger than the stand.
