Forget ebook readers, this Infinitely Adjustable Reading Valet is the future. It’s a fully adjustable book holder that can tilt, swivel and yaw to any angle and there’s a pair of page retainers to hold it open so you don’t have to touch that dirty, filthy book. It adjusts from 80cm (31″) up to 130 cm (51″) and holds books up to 2kg (4lbs). Use it as an extra hand in the kitchen, reclining in the Jason or just cos you want to put your hands in your pocket while you read. US$179.95.

Unlike typical hands-free bookstands that offer only one position, this superior model telescopes, tilts, yaws, and swivels 360� to allow countless hands-free reading positions. The bookstand can hold a book inverted over your head while you are lying down or sitting supine in a lounge chair.
