Why? A copy holder is designed to position paperwork so that it can be read easily in relation to one's computer monitor. Some copyholders make this process easier than others.

The Adapatables Document Holders are made of clear acrylic that fits well within all work environments and allows for a full field of vision. Available in both ten and eighteen inch widths, the Adaptables document holders support a wide range of documents from single sheets to manuals. Users may choose between two viewing angles and position the document at two viewing heights. May be placed between the keyboard and monitor for the optimum ergonomic position. Ten inch model with line guide $49.96. Eighteen inch model with line guide $69.96.

The "SW-CPH50" weighted base copyholder features a single arm to tilt and swivel the copy platform. The 6" weighted base allows it to be positioned easily and securely near a computer monitor for reading copy at the proper viewing height and angle. Available in putty. $39.96 each.

An excellent example of ergonomic design is the "VisionVu Copyholder by VuRyte". Rather than positioning copy to the left or right of the monitor, this copy holder positions paperwork directly below the monitor and above the keyboard. A simple eye movement toward the copy eliminates the need for users to turn the head frequently to the left or right to view copy. This change in posture eliminates unneccesary movement and creates a more functional and natural approach to reading copy. The VuRyte units are sturdy enough even for heavy manuals. Available in fourteen inch ($79.96) and eighteen inch ($89.96) models.

The "FatCat" is similar in nature to the "WritePlus", except it is smaller in size and lighter in weight, does not expand and comes complete with a padded wrist rest. It also features a separate plug-in copy shelf that can adjust the height of your copy by up to six inches. The FatCat can support the weight of large books and binders just like its big brother, the WritePlus! Available for $109.96

There is also an "edge of desk" mounted model, the "CopyCat" that clamps onto the front edge of any worksurface and provides an angle adjustable writing and reading surface, reducing the "footprint" on the desktop of this product to an absolute minimum! $149.96 each.
