Harry,
Not feeling sorry for myself but at a week shy of my 75th birthday, having Parkinson's disease and being an ESRD patient on hemodialysis three days a week a good book stand is a godsend. Until you have tried to read with only one hand available you simply have no idea.

That being said a good bookstand, though a bit more expensive than the one in the thread starter - and one with a great deal more adaptability can be found at:
