Can you use it for books?

Yes, It has little pop up lip at the bottom that would hold a book secure. About a half an inch in depth

I propped up a magazine & a then a book from the library. It sits on the shelf but not deep enough.The book doesn't stay open, keeps closing, as the shelf that it rest on is shallow & not wide.Jeanne

The desk isn't very deep, and the I have found the latch to be weak. It doesn't stay closed if there's anything very much in the desk part. I use it mostly as a lap board and only carry small things--pads of paper and writing tools, etc.

I am sure you can use it for Arabic books. I have used it for Spanish. I recommend to give it a try.

Yes you can use quick books. I use quick books online and there is an android app for it.

I can't really say, but I did use them for books when I moved if that is helpful

Yes you totally can. I would not recommend placing alot of weight on the top portion however. I use it for lighter textbooks, like stuff from Dover.

I use it only for DVD's but it is pretty sturdy and would probably be fine for smaller books.

I think it would work! We are using ours in a bedroom for a TV, but could be used anywhere! The shelve is adjustable for different size books and it is very sturdy!

I guess so, I use it for ornaments but I am pretty sure you can put some books in it.

If you have a lap desk it might work. It is really weak and I don't use it. If the book is a full novel it won't fit. I had trouble using it with my leather Bible. A waste of money. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can use it as an ereader. the screen is comparable to the kindle fire, not the nook. more like a computer screen which isn't as good in a bright place.

Yes you can. That's the best part about it. You can use either the top or the bottom one, or both together as in the main picture. It's better if you plan on opening multiple books at a time as it offers more space to place your books. It's great IMO. I wish I had had this while in grad school or even before that.

The largest books I use it for are cookbooks. Some of them are quite big and fairly heavy and it works just fine. You can move the foldable parts in or out to accommodate different widths. I've been happy with mine.

No, you can't put Kindle books on it. It has to be a PDF or EPub format. I mainly used it for borrowing library books online. The one I had was not wi-fi so I had to connect with a USB cord to transfer the book from the computer to the e-reader. I would recommend a Kindle reader instead.

Of course you can put paper on it but I would use a tablet of paper. The stand is heavy and not something to use in a lap. It is really intended to hold books....be creative.

It does not hold very much weight. Not great if using mainly for books. Very flimsey, poor construction.

You could use this to hold books, however it is not considered a "book case". You can place books on the shelf and lower section behind the twin glass doors as well as on the middle and top shelves. Please note, you will need book ends if you wish to place books on the middle and top shelves as there aren't any end supports for them. The cabinet is designed for media type devices, but with some creativity will do a decent job holding just about any type of item.

I wouldn't use it for heavy books, the material is a bit thin. It's more for lighter items I think.
