I have a similar type holder, but cannot use it to read while sitting on the sofa. Its just too low and my neck hurts looking down that far. Just not the right angle for me. I also need the right distance for my bifocals and its not close enough down on my lap.
I have that holder on my desk so when I sometimes read while waiting for something working on the computer, I read there. Since I wear computer glasses the distance is then fine. But on my sofa? I have to hold it. Its where I read the most, while others watch TV.
I also constantly move when I read, my legs this way, that way, my arm moves, adjusting my body. I'd top that holder of every time. I have to hold a comfy distance from my eyes and maybe have my elbow on an arm, if there is one.
Even in bed I have to hold it as again, my neck would kill me if I didn't hold it high enough.
