Questions people ask

Can it be used while lying flat on your back?
Most lap and pillow stands work best when sitting up or reclining. Reading while lying flat usually needs an overhead arm-style holder.
Will it hold an e-reader?
Many stands fit e-readers and tablets, but check the ledge width and whether the clips can grip a small, thin device.
