You ever doing something that occupies both your hands and you want to keep reading? It is just a prototype at the moment, so it is not something that can be taken anywhere and it remains in a fixed position, but this can be used for for smaller books and activities where you can remain in one area, such as washing dishes. This can be useful for a few cases, but this is just a prototype. An actual, good-quality bookstand would take more time to create.
Supplies

3. The final step is creating the book rest, which the book lies against. Also, adding the page holders on the platform, which allows the pages to stay open without flipping.
