I read in bed every night. Will this prop open well for hands free reading? Some reviews were negative on this.

Our model worked fine--it took a few tries to get it to work. We haven't propped it on an uneven surface like a bed, but it works great propped on a table.

If your surface is flat it works well. It doesn't hold up if on a pillow top mattress while reading.

The angle of the prop is not ideal for hands free reading. To read most comfortably you have to hold it yourself.

It won't really stand on uneven surface but if you prop it with knees or pillow then you should be able to work around that

I ordered the wrong one but I don't see how it can be hands free unless you lean it against you legs propped up. I love the quality.

I prop up my 6" kindle everyday while i ride. It is quite secure. I haven't tried anything larger.

That's kind of dependent on what you like. It's basically like reading with a large hardback book. If you don't mind holding a hardback book, then it's fine. I hardly use the stand and don't mind reading without it. I read in the car with no stand, at appointments, in bed, etc.

Hi Jerome, I read a lot in bed, and I use this lamp. The light is a bit whiter than I would like, but it is bright enough for a good reading, and at the same time very discrete for any other person sleeping in the same bedroom. Hope his helps !Regards,Rodrigo

No Problem, there is a lip that you set tablet or kindle on, then adjust the level/height you want for viewing/reading. Karen

I haven't used it but I would assume it would be used to hold it in your hand while reading.

Hello, no with this case you are not able to work hands free unless you lean it to something, this is more for protection all around your tablet, accidental dropping, people seating on it, which it happened to me already, if you want to get a case where you are able to watch movies, I will recommend you an '' slim folio case with multi angle stand by Blurex'' which I also have and is very good. I hope I was helpful in your decision to what would work better for you.

I downloaded the different readers--I feel the same way. Getting used to reading on the little screen, well, it is nice to read in the dark with the lights off. I am now trying to get used to reading with the scroll function (it goes too slow, and then, when I want to reread a passage, it still takes some thought on how to stop the scrolling).

Yes, I use it as a reading light in bed before I go to sleep. You do have to keep the light close (about 30 centimeters) to the page.

Yes, I have cannot bend my head to read. All books must stay at eye-level for me. This should be useful to your husband.

I have thought of using it for that but I don't want to squish it and have it lose it's shape. I have the BedLounge Classic that you can buy on this website. I use that to sit up in bed and read.

If the strap is adjusted where the plastic slide is not in the back, then yes it would be good for lying down and reading. The beam however is very bright so it may wash out many pages or create a glare. If you need a bright light for reading however, this is the hot ticket.

I use mine daily with either an e-reader or a book. Works great for both! I am ordering a second one, so I can have one in the bedroom and one in the living room!

I certainly think so. I read 4-6 books a week, and I am using this constantly. It goes everywhere with me, in my purse. So it is being well-used. I have seen no problems with it at all. Seems sturdy enough and IHAVE dropped it. If I were purchasing again, I would not hesitate. It seems much more compact than the one they show for the Paperwhite. I like it.

I use it to read Kindle, iBooks & Zinio mags while on an exercise bike. I have an iPad Air and it works great. I have not tried it from bed, but it should work just fine...

I use it every night to read by. Because it had 3 settings, it works. I really like mine and would recommend it.

I often read in bed and the cover can be open to any angle. The Kindle can be held in one hand without any issues.It would have been nice to include a slot on the front or back for a business card in case the Kindle is misplaced. It might also have been usefulto include a small attachment point for a strap.However the cover is light and unobtrusive. The feature of turning the Kindle on is good, although sometimes you need to open and close the cover a few times before it works. I'd say it works on the first try 90% of the time and needs a few additional tries about 10% of the time. I often read in bed and the cover can be open to any angle.
