is it easy to turn the pages?

No, I wouldn't call it easy. It's not extra hard but you have to physically deviate the page out of the way of the page holder. It's kind of easy to pull a page out from behind the holder, however, placing it back behind the other page holder is hard. The page holder and book are pressing against each other and you have to use two hands probably to counter the resistance and loosen the page holder while holding the book. I just tested this now on a soft-back reference book and it was not easy to turn the page and re-fasten it behind the page holder on the left side.

Yeah... If it's a super thick book, you may need to move the little clear arm first, though.

If the page holders are place it is difficult to turn pages. I just use it without page holders in place, they remain out of the way I can turn the pages easily.

I can turn the pages quite easily if I don't push the clear plastic page-holder arms too tight against the book. Page-turning hasn't been a problem at all.

You know, I read that people had issues with turning the pages, but I don't notice it being a problem for me. The clips are there, but they can be moved and adjusted easily. If they weren't there, your pages don't stay as flat and it would be harder to read. Like most people said, you figure it out pretty quick. I usually don't even have to move them unless I am highlighting an area at the very bottom of the page.

Yes, it is very easy to turn the pages. If you are using the the little page clips on the front just relax them a little and the pages slip through. I've been using it with a thick, heavy hardcover book with no problem. Hope this helps.

It will do the job nicely. The holder has a clear plastic bar at the bottom that will help hold the book open so turning the page with one hand has been comfortable.

Sorry but I have not used that function but I believe page must be flipped but not sure.

Easy is always subjective, but as others have noted, the clips that hold the pages can be adjusted, making it relatively easy to turn pages while keeping a book or document in place. I still love my Cosmos for it's ease of use, multiple adjustment options, light weight, and beautiful Caribbean sea turquoise color.

It's easy as long as I don't clamp the two supports down tight - I leave them a little loose so I can pull the pages up over them from the right and tuck them into the left. If they were clamped down tight, it would be difficult.

The band needs to be worked in a bit to start with, but I am not sure there is a way to keep all pages open. I have never been in the situation where I've needed both pages open at the same time.

Yes, it can. There is a dial - not great, but it works - that changes the length of the page.

I have this one and am well pleased with it,it seems to me,looking at the pic of the book smart,changing pages would be more difficult with it.

Yes, the interface is not overly complicated. You could also go to a Barnes & Noble store with it, and the staff will be happy to help you.

I find it very easy and it does provide enlarged text sizes. The in-and-out pinch movements with the fingers are essential so some minimal manual dexterity is essential. Other than that, go for it!

YES! There is a little "arm" that flips up on each side to hold pages open. "Arms" are padded so they do not leave any marks on the pages. I can be reading, walk away and when I come back later, my pages are still open at the place I finished. Hope this helps!

Pages get a little caught sometimes flipping left, flipping right is fine due to the way the rings are designed. It's not bad, and a small metal file could completely alleviate any issue if you wanted. Hope this help!

Yes. Page breaks are easily incorporated. The program also will compile directly into formats for Kindle and/or Nook.

Yes,but it is relatively easy, just read the direction as you do each part and stick with it. I love mine!

Yes, They are easy to read.. but as set up your own combination is quite difficult to do.

You'll definitely need to hold it open. I'd suggest a large binder clip or something of that nature to keep the pages flat while you're working on it.

Hi,Yes it would be easy to do. We actually returned ours because it looked like something we could make and just take to local shop to be spiral bound, nothing special about the book. But if you want it already done, then go for it!
