how much does it tilt? I want to sit on the couch and read a large textbook. Do you think that will work? Will it slide off?

The level of tilt is adjustable. I think it would work for you purposes. My wife likes it so much she wants me to get another one.

I absolutely think it will work perfectly. I tried doing what you propose to do with this table and there was absolutely no problem at all.

It doesn't tilt to a 45 degree angle. Otherwise everything would slip off. But it's a nice tray. My 95 yr grandmother loves it.

It tilts many different ways. Won't slide off. My 52in flat screen is my computer moniter now. I use the table for my key board and mouse.

I use it for my Kindle and it is perfect. I set my kindle right in the opening you can see. It might hold a thin hardback/paperback, but not much more than that. I think you could prop it up but I don't think it would stay.

I think whether you have to bend down to read comfortably depends more on your height and the height of the table/counter you put the cookbook holder on. I haven't experienced any discomfort when trying to read using this product. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

It doesn't really tilt, but you can adjust slightly. Does not have a pivotal mount or anything like that. Very functional though.

Some are saying yes, others are saying no. Why no? If it is placed horizontally would the shelves still stay in place? THanks in advance. I am considering ordering two, one for an upright vertical bookshelf as pictured and another to go as a long bookshelf/console table in the same room.

This is very light weight gadget and can be unstable if you try supporting a heavy book. Bottom margin is clear, though Your question is not clear to me.

Yes, it rolls all the way back. You can make a triangle out of the top half by folding it, that way you can prop it up on the longer side when you are reading. It is stable enough if you are putting it on top of a table, but might be slightly unstable if you are putting on a soft bed. Hope this helps.

I have used the bedrest on my sofa and I liked the extra back support while reading. Helps prevent slumping.

No it doesn't tilt. Sturdy in one place. There are a lot of holes for the legs - it made my tv very tall which I like because I have a low table.

Oh, I did forget to mention, if you have a slanted bottom on your computer, it may slide off. I have one with a slanted bottom, a Dell and it stay's on. I guess it would depend on how steep the slant is. Its worth a try, if it work's out, your neck will love it. Its the best stand I've come across because of the high adjustment.

I have mind on a rotating "lazy susan" type stand to turn if necessary. However, only time I turn it is when I'm dusting. The only "tilt" is ability to adjust the screen up or down. Mine is in bedroom and aimed/adjusted to watching from bed, so doesn't have to be moved. Hope this was helpful.

I purchased this bookshelf and it is great!, it is very strong, will it hold the weight of the books? yes, but... if there is any floor inclination... then it might fall forward. I am using it for computer devices, and other related game accessories.

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

With mine, the "table top" does not adjust. With the ridge, the kindle should not slip off.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

I think it would depend on the size of the book. I personally don't keep it in the most upright position because it gets a little wobbly.

Well, yes...sort of. The tilt would depend how you position it on your lap, of course -- you could use a small pillow to increase the tilt or incline. But your best bet might be to place the Kindle in a Kindle stand, and then put it on top of the lapdesk.
