Could you adapt it or get a kit to hold regular books also. My aunt needs to read her bible

For this purpose, I use a typical, foldable tripod-like Music Stand, which cost about $12. It is sturdy but is light-weight so that I can move it around. I also use the Music Stand for my iPad3. When tapping on or swiping across the touchscreen with my finger, there is only a slight vibration. But reading books with the Music Stand is no problem and I can get very close to the pages if I point the legs in the proper direction. (On tables, I use a sturdy iron plate holder as a book & iPad3 stand, although I generally prefer to use the Music Stand).

I don't think you could easily adapt it for that use. It would be too cumbersome to turn the pages.

In a word, no. Although you could probably jury rig something, I agree with James. Better to get something designed to do what you want.

Yes, you can use this kit. The kit are several handy tools in there. One of the plastic ones broke as soon as I used it; however, there's a metal tool which opened it. There is a You-Tube video which is extremely valuable. Watch it before attempting to open the Kindle, and save yourself some frustration!

I think it would be heavy enough. I have a large, family Bible on mine, and it holds it very well.

That sounds like a lot of books! Mine has held up well but I do not carry that much weight.

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

It's designed to hold DVD's/Blue rays. So as long as your books are about that size that would work.

Hi Guy, I tried a book that is about that size, it is wide enough-I don't think it is deep enough ^ for it it, probably would fit if you didn't have to close the zipper-Hope this helps a little G.Riley, Waterloo

The shelves are nice and deep and can also be adjusted for the height of your books. They're made for average sized books but taller books may require you to adjust how/where you place your sheves which is great to even have the option. I hope this was helpful.

I don't think it would be ideal for books since its not very long and deep, but i guess you could put some books on it it just wouldnt fit too many.

I use mine to store hats, so I am not a really good judge, but I would think a more traditional bookcase would work better. Some of the shelves are not wide enough for a textbook.

Hadn't thought of that one. Tried it with a couple of different sized books and it holds them, but not well. The tab at the bottom that holds the iPads isn't big or wide enough to keep the book from wobbling or falling over backwards. It can be used with a book, but it aggravating...hope that helps.

Yes, we have some Nick knacks on ours that are pretty heavy. A few books should be fine.

The clip is oversize and if the book is not a hard cover the support would be doubtful. 2' x 3 1/2" fair size clip. Probably too big. sorry

I would sort of think not. Not if you want to hold the book open and have plenty of room to write, as well. If you've got the dimensions of the thing, draw it out and see what fits. I bet it's a little cramped. Could be frustrating.

The main factor guiding how much weight it will hold will be the strength of the screws that are used to mount it, IMHO. The screws that came with mine seemed a bit on the small side, so I went and bought longer stronger screws, and ended up using both. I certainly wouldn't be afraid to sit a couple books on mine, even if they were pretty heavy ones.

IF it was secured an they were lightweight books, yes. They give you instructions and the screws to secure it. :-)

Yes. I have the same one and I have a large ESV Study Bible in mine and have ample room. I really love the zipper pocket on the front for storing papers or notes and the nice pencil case on top of that. I have a pen , Pencil, and highlighter in mine and could put more in it. It also has a pencil holder inside. Very nice . I love it.
