An ingenious tool, the FlipKlip ideally solves the issue that every reader of a physical book faces: How to keep the damn book open to the page you’re on and—most important of all—keep the page in place. A gust of breeze or a fan’s burst of air or a blowing A/C vent can knock a page over. Or, as I needed, a physical book not held in place is useless on a treadmill. The FlipKlip fixes these issues, with its snapping mechanism keeping the open pages firmly in place. I just used the FlipKlip on a 639-page book (Mircea Cartarescu’s amazing novel, SOLENOID) with no problem. Some readers might object to how tight the FlipKlip holds down pages, how (in order to turn a page) you have to pull the right-side page down off the right clip and then lift the left clip to finish turning the page. I found this action was just a matter of adjusting to a new way of turning pages: It made the act somehow more deliberate, more of a ritual. It even made you more aware that you were turning a page and making progress, making you more conscious that you were in the ACT of reading. FlipKlip makes reading easier on one hand, but also more physical on the other. A genius invention.

It does indeed hold the books open for you. BUT the problem is that you read 2 pages and then have to mess with the thing again. Turning the pages and tucking a new one under isn't super simple (it's a grippy thing) and can easily lead to bent pages. If you truly need hands free reading a tablet is the way to go unfortunately. I still like reading actual books printed on paper but this device hasn't really made that that much easier. I could see it being perfect for holding open a recipe book or something that needs to be referenced repeatedly.

Such a convenience to have this page holder, don't think I can ever go back to reading without it! Tight and firm clip strength, doesn't damage the pages or obstruct the text.
