Will this support several academic textbooks?

Yes, I believe they would. Even though these are not as tall as some others come, they are strong and sturdy and won't bend to the weight of heavy books.
1676208
Yes! I've noticed that they do. They are fairly short, but they seem to support all the books I've tried them on well.

Yes, it should easily support any books, these are made of metal and are very sturdy, the books sit on mental piece on the bottom easily holding up the books. I remember these kind of book ends used in libraries before they had the book holders built into the shelf.

No they would not be sturdy enough for textbooks. Sometimes they bend with the papers I put on them. Sorry!

Yes I've used it with both large paperbacks and hardcover books, and it's word fine. I'm glad I bought the book holder, I use it on the couch, in bed and in the car.

I would not recommend this for anything to extensive, so if your majoring in something with big text books(biology, chemistry, physics etc. etc.) and you have a laptop, and other school stuff I would say no don't buy it. If you need a bag for light use with maybe an Ipad and a few notebooks and paperbacks or small text books to read then it's ok. It's not terrible but not great either.

No, it is far too shallow for textbooks. Might work for paperbacks, though.

Yes, it supports. Very good ereader. The dictionary is one of things I appreciate more. You push your finger on the word and definition or translation would appear.

I think it can. Maybe up to 40 - 50 TEXT books! I would get anchors to nail it to the wall from homedepot since your dealing with kids.

Not sure but mine support at least a full load of books. Seem just as sturdy as any bookshelves, though they're definitely better looking than most!

This would handle a few books well. It'd be a bit trying with let's say a Intro to Biology/ Chemistry book. THat'd just be one heavy load out for one arm. It would hold them, but you would just murder your shoulder. I usually kept a folder, notebook and 1 textbook (Medium size).

I suppose it would work from an appearance standpoint. I don't think there are enough shelves. Would certainly work for larger books.

I would say no. I carry my laptop and a couple of note books and a manila folder but I don't see multiple big thick college textbooks fitting well.

Maybe 1 or 2 heavy textbooks per shelf (maybe). Would def. not recommend using it as a bookcase! i have a couple picture frames, candles, decor items on mine. We had to rig it majorly! Make sure you have a dude handy with his own tools and screws as well. The ones provided stripped extremely easily for some reason and was missing pieces. It is really cute once you get it put together though.
1868511
yes, but the top self would not support a large text book, but does support smaller books
1737997
Yes. A large textbook may hang over if you need to have it opened. But as a place to put down a book you are reading or a drink, it's fine.

not sure on the laptop size part, but as to rom for books, you can probably only get 1 large textbook in with a laptop. Maybe two if you really squeeze it in. This pack is definitely more on the slim minimalist side, but the means it looks much nicer than a lot of bulkier packs

I think I would get the smaller stand for regular paperback novel-type books, but I'm sure it would. I use it for my law school casebooks which are 7x10x2 and it holds them very nicely.

It depends on how big the notebook and book are. It will hold a mass market sized paperback book and/or a small notebook along with some pens and highlighters. It won't hold a big school notebook or a hardcover book. Let me know if you have more questions.
