Lean-To

Stand a tablet behind a row of books

A bookend with a second job: the books stand on the base plate against the upright, and behind it a trough holds a tablet or e-reader leaning on the upright’s back face. The weight of the books keeps the tablet stand steady, so a recipe, a video call or sheet music stands up at the end of the row.
