bookstand
Holds pages open
A bookstand is a support that holds a book open at a readable angle, freeing your hands for note-taking, cooking from a recipe, or playing music.
The term also applies to small furniture pieces designed to display books, and sometimes to a kiosk or stall where books are sold: She picked up a paperback at the bookstand in the train station.
