Is cover non-flexible, or is it like a hard backed book?

Hi Gretchen!Thank you for your inquiry! The cover is a hard back like a book.BisonOffice

I would think that it should work fine. It is fairly flexible so it won't be like a hardback book when you finish, but it will be well protected. Good luck.Woody

Yes, this book stand is a beast. But if the book is soft-covered, it will flop over the edges.

I haven't had a problem with that. I am sure there is a limit to the amount of pressure you can put on the surface but a reasonable push to keep the book flat is fine.

Yes the cover is very flimsy . The only coice is to close it with. Scoth Tape. Good luck

The clear bars hold the pages back pretty well in all positions. I tried it out with a workbook, and it was fine. A large textbook might not do as well since they tend to have a lot of weight. I'd be more worried about the whole thing tipping over in that case, though!

Yes, both the front and back covers are strong cardboard, so the notebook is solid instead of flexible

I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback. We didn't try that on the stand. It is very stable and holds a large, heavier hardback extremely well. Tipping over is not a problem at all, and the small plastic "stops" along the bottom hold the book in place well, yet it is easy to turn pages. My sister, who has Parkinson's, and is confined to a wheel chair, can use the stand very easily. I think the stand would be steady enough and not tip over, no matter what weight of book is used with it, even a paperback. But I'll have to look at it again to see if it makes a difference that the paperback is a smaller book. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback.

Yes, the cover is flexible enough to fold backward, but I rarely use it this way.

It is a paperback. The material is stiff, so I'm not worried about mine falling apart or anything.

They are like traditional composition book covers. I would classify that as hard. Love them :)

Mine did, I think it depends on who you order it from. It was not a hard cover, but it did come with both.

It is not a hard cover. This is more like a sticker you would stick onto your mac and yes, it is removable.

Yes, absolutely. I have it laying flat most of the time. Just simply flip the cover back like a book.

It's not spiral bound. It would be like flipping around a hard cover book. Also, from my experience it doesn't lay flat very well.

yes! it's just heavy so handle carefuly: not fragile book but don't toss or open-close roughly. mine opens each page all the way to the last.

This cover opens backwards. Not like a book ...the kindle only fits in one way to access your "power " "volume" buttons. That is what I DONOT like about this case. Other than that it is sturdy and soft
