will it also hold an actual book as in a cookbook?

Not really! The slot is not wide enough. But it rocks for ipad. I keep my ipad on it in the kitchen and love it.

it can hold a medium size cookbook, if it isn't too heavy or too bulky. of course, it cannot hold open the pages, so you need something to hold the page. i would consider it twice before putting any book on it. standing up, a very thin book can be inserted into the slot. for books i rather use a special stand.

It is stable enough to hold that size book, however, for a book that size I would purchase the largest size available. I "think" that might be the Freezia; the shelf where the bottom of the book stands is wider and would be more sufficient for the size book you want to use. The Jasmine has about 1.5 inch shelf. Those little page holders will hold your pages in place without damaging them. I hope this helps.

There is an acrylic panel that isn't as big at the front, but just as sturdy. The base has grooves along the bottom and the panel sits in the different sections depending on the size of your cookbook. It can accommodate a large book or even just a piece of paper. When you are not using the holder, the top folds all the way down and the back panel sits right with the base. It doesn't create any bulk, its very streamlined.

You can hold it and it comes with a bag, which is size of regular book bag.

I guess it would depend on the size of the cookbook. it's pretty sturdy, but I only use mine for the iPad. This is more of a question for the manufacturer, as I doubt anyone is willing to test the weight limit and risk breaking it to answer your question.

I do not think so, because the pages are sewn into the storage case. You need to look for one with a ring binder.

I currently have at least 5 lbs of cook books on it. And 2 cast iron tea pots on the other. I think it could hold that!

It should do it easily. I got it because I was reading a large, and I mean large book by Stephen King and it held it with no problem.

I would think that it should work fine. It is fairly flexible so it won't be like a hardback book when you finish, but it will be well protected. Good luck. Woody

Oh no!! It will hold an eReader. It just rests on the tub walls so there will be room

No. They are so cheaply made they wouldn't even hold seasonings and bread. So not a chance with books. It just bends.

Depend on your book case ,but I think will be ok . The one I have I gave it for present to set on the counter

Yes I think it would. It is very sturdy and it will hold really thick cookbooks that I have.

Absolutely! I weighed my favorite ATK cookbook and it's 4.3lbs. The Plexiglas does not cover the full page, but the book stays put.

I have the kindle keyboard and it will hold it. Paperbacks pose a problem because they won't stay open but I use my kindle and hardback books without problems.

I gave one of these to my friend. She reads books (not all paperbacks ) so I am saying yes. The holder is wide and there is an edge that runs across the bottom.

So the size seems about accurate; it does hold a normal book. Pretty much any book of any width will fit. The stand will only come half way up the book so that is why it seems a little small.
