I use this because I have both fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel, so holding open books is too hard and painful for my hands to handle. So I scoured the internet for solutions and after much research found this. It works great for holding open a variety of different sized books. I read a lot, so this has saved me lots of aches and pain. It’s so simple but super helpful, and also affordable. It’s able to hold both big and small books open firmly and securly.
The only thing I hate is that the little tabs holding the pages open always blocks parts on the page, so I have to lift it up or slide it down to read the words underneath. I don’t know what the solution would be, and I know nothing can be perfect, but it bugs me a bit. I also wish it had a way to prop up the book, but that isn’t what this was made to do may be asking for too much, and for the price and objective it works great.

Within the span of two weeks I purchased four different book/paper holders including this one, the Easi Stand, and the Book Magic Bookstand. I wanted them for slightly different reasons and am happy with all of them. However, the FlipKilp treadmill book holder is by far my favorite. While I did not purchase it to use on a treadmill, the same principle of use would apply just about anywhere. I regularly read textbooks and text readers for work but also enjoy thicker paperbacks for leisure reading. This FlipKlip is versatile enough to work with all of these.
The FlipKlip has two hinges and clips over both sides of the book across the spine. It holds the book open flat. Turning pages is a snap by just slightly lifting one arm of the clip, folding the page over then sliding it under another page. It is not as easy to turn pages as arm free one book holder, but those tend to not work as well for small text readers that tend to be very stubborn to open flat. The FlipKlip is usually strong enough to keep those books open, and it works with books of all sizes. It might not work quite as well with an a REALLY thick standard paperback, but it beats the alternative book holders that I have tried.
You do have to make sure to put it in the right direction, which is really easy to do. The longer side goes in back. Putting it around the book is simple and foolproof. You would have to work hard to mess that part up. Same with turning pages. I have had no problems with it with any book and have used it for nearly 2 years at this point. It has held up the entire time with no problems with the hinges. This thing is well made.
The FlipKlip is affordable, made in the USA, and has many uses beyond the treadmill. I use it when taking notes, but it would definitely work well on a treadmill, too. It would keep the pages opened and solid without them slipping due to the movement of the treadmill. If I happen to lose my original model I would buy a new one in an instant as I used it multiple times a week.

I was going to headline this “Coolest Gadget since the Air Popcorn Popper” but it’s cooler than that because we’ve since learned how bad “white carbs” are! I don’t believe I have ever written a product review so that should tell you something about how thrilled I am with this little device.
The Problem this Device Solves:
I’ve been reading books on my stair climber for 15+ years now. It is my primary work out, 3 – 6 times per week. I also read when I travel and use the hotel’s elliptical or stationary bike (sadly most places don’t carry stair climbers anymore), I don’t know how people work out on a machine without reading or watching TV. I tried it once and I lasted only six minutes before I was bored to tears. I’m a reader and have no interest in TV. Sometimes I am motivated to workout because I want to get back into my book. Sometimes I even read while I’m stretching.
It is such a pain to keep a book open on a treadmill book stand!! I love my Kindle but I can’t check out many of the books I want from the library in the Kindle version. Some books are not even available on Kindle.
I’ve tried those big binder clips. Those are too tight to fit most books and they are impossible to then turn the pages. I’ve tried various big hair clips… too loose.
I figured I wasn’t the only one to experience this problem and that someone had probably figured out a solution. So I began my search.
How FlipKlip Solves the Problem:
Simply put, it keeps my book open. It is easy to put on. It is easy to turn the pages. It is easy to take off and store on the book while closed. It is perfect in its functionality as it does exactly what it is designed to do. It fits a big hardback book. It is tight enough to hold open new paperbacks. It has rubber ends that help not scratch/tear the pages or cover while allowing me to slide out a page on one side and slide it into the other side. I can even pop-up only one side to keep the book open while sliding the page in.
I’m going to buy a couple more in case I lose this one because, now that I’ve used it, it would be painful to ever go back.
