Is the bottom edge bound like a "book binding" as well, or are the accordian folds exposed?

The bottom is not bound like a book and the accordion folds are indeed exposed. That said, they are very sturdy and the entire storage "box" is beautiful! I recommend getting it!

The accordion folds are exposed but is a dark/sturdy material. my son loves it and has received lots of compliments.

To be honest, I don't remember. My is unfolded, a handy spot to keep a few things out of the way! When I use it I have to clean it off. As I recall, it wasn't difficult to fold or unfold. I don't recall the width of it folded.

In a word, yes. In the folded configuration, as shown on Amazon, the leather label that acts a stop is about 1 1/2 inches from the pad that the tablet/reader (or in your case a large book) rests against. I've used the pad to read one of my large hard-cover books (9 1/2 long x 7 1/2 wide x 2" thick) with no problem. The leather label on the pad is thick enough to hold the bottom of the book spine and outer cover. The pad supported a soft-cover book the same size as the hard-cover. Smaller paperbacks are a waste of time. Don't confuse the pad's ability to keep a book in a comfortable reading position with being able to keep the book open. My hard-cover book wouldn't stay open by itself until I got about 1/4 way thru it; as did my same-sized soft-cover/paperback. At about the 3/4 mark both books would close unless I held it open, which I can live with 'cause I'm not going to fold backwards and break the spine of any of my books. So, yes, it'll support large books but with limitations as the pad was designed for tablets, e-readers, and such. Hope this helps.

I'm afraid I haven't tested that yet. I can tell you this: what I have been searching for high and low is the original binder, in which the front and the back were completely separate and so could hold hundreds of pages. Here they are joined by a useless fiber "hinge" which once stretched to its limit would determine maximum number of pages. IMO they added a design flaw to the best binder I ever found. Please less me know if you find acco 25073!

Yes, the bound edge is the 8.5" side and opens to be 22" from left to right. Pages are inserted from the top of the 11" side. Definitely a landscape portfolio not portrait.

No. This binder has one long continuous spring-steel channel that runs the length of the spine. The binder cover is bent backward to open the channel, which holds the paper inside firmly all along the spine side.

It folds like an accordian. I use it as back support for my ultralight pack.

The design is meant to have a pad slip in from the top, not side. But a spiral bound notebook seems like it would fit inside the portfolio if you don't mind it not being secured.

Some are probably referring to the adjustable page line bar, which is a pretty tight fit (the adjustable vertical magnifier that slides down the page). The clip at the top could hold about a tablet thickness worth of paper.

No but there is plenty of room for a side bound notebook inside. The top bound pad gives a bit more stability to the portfolio. The picture doesn't show it but inside, on the left inside of the portfolio are ares for business card, CDss as well as a zippered compartment. There's also a non-zippered compartment for a tablet or ipad. The top bound pad doesn't obstruct these. It's really a very nice portfolio, especially for the price. Others I looked at were in the $60 range.

Your pages will be close to the edge of your binder but if you don't mind then it should work.

Yes, they go both ways on all pages. I'm looking for a new book though, the page quality is terrible and the binding is falling apart :(

No, it's not. It's just "sewed" in the middle of a pile of big pages and then folded into half. If you tear one page off, I'm pretty sure the other part of the page will fall off too.

It does not accordion, and the edge seam is simply sewn. It fits my Gerber folding knife perfectly, and the knife is 9/16" thick, 4-1/8" long, and 1-5/16" wide. The edge is wrapped with a smooth and reasonably durable cloth that laps the edge of the case approximately 1/4" front and back. The seam is single stitch, so I wouldn't consider it to be a high quality case. I have had no problems with it at all, and it hasn't shown wear since I don't have a need to use the knife often.

I can't measure the edge now since the stand is over at a band mate's house where we rehearse. I will tell you that we play from a rather thick ring binder and I haven't had trouble with it. I tilt the music holder back a bit and the music sits in place just fine.

No, they are flat pages, just like a book or loose leaf binder. Very good quality in the cover and the plastic pages.

No . The magnetic piece just keeps it closed. When I fold mine all the way back I use a clip on book light that holds it in place.
