Can anyone recommend of a good bookstand that will sit comfortably onto a treadmill? Is it a good investment, and does it really work with paperbacks, or do you have to have something else to hold the pages down?

I never knew there was such a thing. I just googled it. Too bad they don't turn the page for you!

I just recently found out about it myself to be honest!

I've seen them offered on treadmills for sale. Personally, I can't read and walk on the treadmill. I guess my eyes jiggle too much

I'm with Suzanne - I can't read and run. Good luck though! Try Amazon - they sell everything! (I say that because I was shocked to see that you can buy 'newspaper holders' (which also work for books) that attach to your steering wheel.... surely that's a bad idea??

Have you thought of trying books on tape? (CD)?

I never thought of it till now

Newspaper holders for your steering wheel??!! Goodness, what were they thinking???

Books on tape is not feasible for me because I'm deaf.

I don't want to be a party pooper, but I read somewhere (online) that it is not recommended to read a mag while exercising. It is believed that it distracts you from doing the exercise (regardless whether a bike, a treadmill, what have you) properly.
I don't have to worry about this myself because I am sure I would fall off the treadmill.

These days, everything is bad for ya. Still, I like to try this out since I'm having trouble motivating myself just to even get on the treadmill.

Why not have an ocean wave cd playing in the background. This helps better to concentrate

Oops, I didn't know.

Yeah I guess that could pose a problem

Oh my gosh! Here is a link to the amazing steering wheel paper/book/computer holder! Who knew such things existed?

Atleast they put "This product is not intended to be used while driving."
On the treadmill I use at the gym there is like a tray thing below the display thingy, if yours has that would you be able to rest a cookbook stand on it? Just an idea! I always plug into my iPod in the gym as i like to be distracted but i know thats unfortunately no use for you. I've seen people prop up newspapers and magazines on the treadmills, not books though, are you not able to hold it and read? I know if i tried that i'd most definately fall off! Still, why not look at a cookbook stand?

Great for painting while driving, February 24, 2008

I use it for holding the large painting easels I use to paint while I drive. Sure, my visibility is reduced by 100%, but all great artists suffer for their work.

What got me was this second review for the steering wheel product!!!!! (From Amazon)

I have since gone on Amazon and bought a plastic bookstand meant for the treadmill. Whether or not it works is something else, so I'll post back on this whenever I try it out sometime this week.
