book stand

Hands-free page holder

A book stand is a support that holds a book open at a readable angle, freeing the hands for note-taking, cooking, or playing music.

Book stands range from simple wire frames to elaborate wooden lecterns.

The term also refers to a small retail kiosk selling books, especially in airports or train stations.
