I want this for an ereader. I need it to be portable and easy to adjust for travel. Car and plane has anyone used it this way?

This would be pretty clunky to use on a plane, mainly because it takes a bit to calibrate to the correct settings and I think it would be frustrating to constantly be collapsing it and setting it up again.

It is way too big for that kind of transportability. It's very light though. I would not recommend for plane or car

That's one of the problems. It's awkward to carry. I suppose you could tuck it in a backpack or large pocket. I purchased one to listen to CDs on the train and plane. For me, the bigger problem was that it just stopped working after a month. I do not recommend this technology.

Not designed to be portable, but not so big it would be especially difficult. It would fit in a larger laptop case and would weigh about as much as a 17" widescreen laptop. The scanners that are designed to be portable usually are designed to work with single sheets rather than books so I doubt they would work well for library trips.

Took it on a plane no issue. Not so compact for the car. The city mini folds better if your stroller will be in and out of the car but it depends on your car size. Able to put it in the trunk of my versa, but it takes up most of the space

This isn't something you use on the airplane. You just use it to carry your carseat to the airplane by tying it to your luggage. You'll need to take it off when you get to the plane so you can stow your luggage and either install or stow your carseat.

Yes, it is very portable, but you need fold the book stand, and it has certain weight. I suggest to carry it in a bag nothold on like a big book.

I love mine...use it on the couch, in bed, on a plane...it's just so handy! I have an iPad 2 and an Air. Works great for both.

I don't think you could easily adapt it for that use. It would be too cumbersome to turn the pages.

I have. Yes, it worked ok ... I found I tended to move slowly on it because it's a pretty bouncy movement for typing, but at least you're moving a bit. I tended to use it when I was reading.

Thanks for your input. I've been trying to decide which way to go. I recently moved to Japan, and I miss having access to lots of titles- plus there's that train commute... So, an electronic reader is a solution. I'm wary only because I've not been able to hold one in my hands and play with it. Sony Readers are displayed everywhere. Apparently, Kindle doesn't require the marketing exposure to sell.

Depends. It measures 9-1/2" high by 7-1/2" deep by 5-1/2" wide so it would take up a fair amount of suitcase space for flying so I wouldn't take it on a plane. Although you might consider it worth it if your trip is going to be long-term. However, if you're talking about a road trip, particularly a long one, it could prove useful not only at your destination(s) but along the way since you could plug it into your vehicle using a lighter adapter. As far as I'm concerned there is no better small foot-print product than the Sunbeam Hot Shot for rapid boiling water. I've been using it for 6 years now. Depends.

You'd be better off getting a lap desk if you're going to be in a car. I don't see this being all that useable (or user friendly) in a car. Sure, you can adjust the legs for height, but that doesn't account for the space you'd need to accommodate the legs & orientate yourself to use it comfortably.

Call the airline and ask them. You can take as cushion, whetehr or not you'd be bale to use the car adapter feature on a plane, I don't know.

Sorry, I only use for plane rides, and it works great for long hauls (5+ hours). It definitely makes plane rides bearable now, highly recommended.

I just bought one and it does well with the basic Kindle e-reader. I clipped it on and it held secure. The neck easily adjusts to avoid glare. I wanted to try this route as opposed to getting a Paperwhite Kindle. I am a new user of e-books and wasn't sure if I would read enough in dim light to justify the additional cost of a more expensive model. I bought my light at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 9.99 and the clerk said that they sell a lot and there haven't been any returns or complaints. I am just wondering about how frequently the AAA batteries would have to be replaced. I am waiting for an answer about this aspect. I just bought one and it does well with the basic Kindle e-reader.

If you want a portable stand that will fit in your bookbag/briefcase and that can hold a 1200+ pages book without any problems this is the stand for you! I have another that is a bigger model made out of laminate cardboard which is too big to transport in any bookbag. I used this for holding my anatomy & physiology book and had no problems. Your neck will also appreciate it, if you need to read for hours at a time.

I have - it worked great! Traveling through the airport was SO much easier than the last time I traveled, without the Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Deluxe. Be prepared for a handcheck at security, as the car seat and carrier won't fit through the x-ray machines (the car seat doesn't fit through on its own either, even without the carrier). You'll have to detach the car seat from the carrier when you're boarding the plane, because they won't fit down the aisle. I used the car seat on the airplane, and tucked the carrier under the seat while flying. When traveling through the airport, it works just like a stroller. I buckled in my 3-year-old and off we went! He enjoyed riding in it as much as I enjoyed the stress-free travel. I highly recommend it.
