does this act as a stand for reading

Yes you can stand it on two different sides of the triangle. Works really good. Love this cover.

It will stand up in the "landscape" view. It's not super stable, but it works as long as its a flat, smooth surface.

I've found that if you use the cover as a stand it will prop up the iPad, but I normally do not use it that way because of the glare produced by the lighting in the room. So to answer you question, yes it does act as a stand, and very well at that, but I would recommend only using the stand in a room that will not produce a large glare.

No. You have to hold it above the page . And it's kind of ...not clear. I use it as a book mark , in case I forget glasses then I use it.

Yes. The section the reader stands on in easel configuration folds backward and lies flat against the back of the reader if you don't need to use the stand. I read as much with it that way as using the stand.

I have had it very long and use it for the magnification. It would probably work well for reading if positioned well. It's a little top heavy because of the magnifying glass.

Yes. Obviously it depends on the light bulb you use. We use it for reading.

No - it doesn't work very long - I had it less than 3 months and barely used it when it completely stopped working. When it did work, it didn't work well for reading.

No, but it has a string that wraps around it and serves the same purpose. It's an amazing book I'd get it if I were u!!!

Hi. I don't know what kind of reading your referencing. I also don't know what your looking for. For example. Are you vision impaired? Do you need help? As far as normal day activities and use, it works perfectly for reading. You can make text bigger and smaller if needed. But it is fantastic. The settings are easy to use and the quality is perfect.

I have two of these, both put on small jelly jars and YES, I could read using ONE of them. the other seemed to be weaker. Honest answer!

it does have a built in stand attached to the cover can be used at angle to watch movies andplaced other way to read books.

I have not used it for that, but as that sounds like book binding I would say yes.

It can be used for reading, but is not nearly as well suited for this purpose as a normal magnifying reader. You would have to move your book too often. OK for short term use for this purpose, but not so good for a primary reader.

Looking up lexicons it reads wordbook or dictionary, of Greek, Latin, or Hebrew. The answer to your question is no.

It's real big display. You will have no problem reading it. That's a reason I bought it too is because of big display. Hope that helps you

It is only a ad card reader. So it will only read whatever a standard as card reader will read. Frankly I am not sure.

Well, you can, but is stands up with the long axis in the verticle, so unless you have a table which puts the open Kindle at eye level, it is not very useful for reading.

yes. i like to position it close to my face because i have low vision. it also prevents one from bending their head down wile seated in a chair to read. good luck.
