4/12/2026

SINCE MANY OF YOU HAVE EMAILED ME ASKING ABOUT YOUR ORDER WHEN IT HAS BEEN 2-10 WEEKS SINCE PLACING IT, MANY OF YOU NOW KNOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHOPIFY'S SYSTEM IS SET UP WITH A MAX PUSH DATE ON ORDERS OF 8 WEEKS.

EVEN THOUGH I PUT THE INFORMATION HERE ON MY FRONT PAGE, IT SEEMS MANY PEOPLE DO NOT READ THE HOME PAGE AND DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE WAITING FOR THEIR ORDER.

THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO CHANGE THE MESSAGE YOU RECEIVE IN YOUR ORDER CONFIRMATION IS IF I KNOW HOW TO WRITE CODE IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE SYSTEM. NOT SOMETHING I KNOW, NOR CAN AFFORD SOMEONE TO DO FOR ME.

THEREFORE, I WILL CONTINUE TO ADD WAIT TIMES TO MY HOMEPAGE IN THE HOPES THAT PEOPLE WILL READ THEM.

ORDERS ARE STILL UP TO 3 MONTHS OUT.

PLEASE READ!

IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I AM ANNOUNCING THAT I AM CLOSING READ E-Z FOR DAY-TO-DAY BUSINESS. I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS, BUT IT IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE TIME AND MONEY, AND HAS NOT BEEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP....

I WILL TAKE NEW ORDERS UNTIL 7/20/2025. ORDERS MAY NEED 3 OR MORE MONTHS TO BE FILLED. I IMAGINE IN THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS I WILL HAVE SO MANY ORDERS THAT THOSE FEW DAYS WILL TAKE ME A MONTH TO FILL THEM ALL, ETC., ETC.

PLEASE BE PATIENT, YOU WILL GET YOUR ORDER!!! THANK YOU!

What is a Read E-Z?

The Read E-Z is a tension-release book holder/cover that holds your book open for you, allowing you to read one-handed, and even hands-free! By placing the front and back covers of your book under the elastic straps inside the Read E-Z, then snapping the clear strap across the pages of the open book, the Read E-Z holds your book in place. When you need to turn the page, you bend the Read E-Z and the elastic strap relaxes out of the way. Then the Read E-Z snaps back and holds your book open again. You can eat, run on the treadmill, lay in the sun, curl up in bed, all while enjoying your book and not having to hold it open. If you have arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other hindrances that make holding a book open difficult or painful, the Read E-Z can help you enjoy reading more comfortably. The Read E-Z comes in 4 pre-made sizes, over 250 fabric patterns, and can be customized to whatever size you would like. For more than twenty seven years the Read E-Z has been helping people enjoy reading even more. The Read E-Z is a reader's best companion!

Testimonials

I have arthritis in both wrists and it hurt to hold my book open. My daughter bought one of your covers for me and since then I have been able to read all I want and not hurt! Thanks for your invention. It really works.

Jim, Sedro-Woolley, WA

I took my Read E-Z to Hawaii. It was awesome to be able to read in the breeze without having to hold on to the book at all times. Everyone I know is getting one for Christmas.

Lisa, Mill Creek, WA

I was volunteering at a hospital and a patient had one of your Read E-Z's. I thought they were the coolest things ever! I will definitely be buying them as gifts in the future!

Carrie

The hand therapist that I've been working with has seen my Read E-Z book cover and now recommends them when they have a patient that loves to read. The book cover allows me to handle reading a book even with only one free hand.

Lynwood, WA

I have had hand/wrist pain for 14 years now and sustained gripping is one of the worst things that will trigger a flare up. Which is why the Read E-Z book cover is so wonderful because it takes care of the "holding." When my mom first got it for me I couldn't figure out why, but once I tried it, I was SOLD.

One of my co-workers who is an avid reader had a heart attack so instead of sending her flowers from our office I suggested that we order her one of your book covers. She uses it daily! She says it was the best idea we could have done for her!

I never lose my spot if I need to lay the book down for a minute. I have all the sizes of the Read E-Z book covers and have purchased many for my friends. The Read E-Z book covers are the best thing to happen to an avid reader of any age.

Joyce

I had one, my friend borrowed it. She loved it so much I let her keep it. Now I need a new one!

Jane

I bought one 15 years ago and I am lost without it!

How to Use Your Read E-Z

Step 1

Insert the covers of your book under the elastic straps. You can leave the built-in bookmark behind the book or place it in between the pages for easy retrieval.

Step 2

Bring the clear vinyl strap across the face of the book from left to right and snap it to the snap on the front of the Read E-Z.

Step 3

Your Read E-Z is now holding your book open and you can read hands-free!

Step 4

To turn the page, bend the book, reach across the page with your thumb and pointer finger and pick up the next page. The Read E-Z will snap back into open position when you release the tension on the cover.

Step 5

When you are ready to close your book for storage or travel, unsnap the vinyl strap, mark your place with the built-in bookmark, and fold your Read E-Z closed.

Step 6

Wrap the vinyl strap around your Read E-Z and snap it in place using the snap on the front of the cover. Your Read E-Z is now ready for storage or travel!

Caring for your read e-z

Read E-Z Care Tips

After you have used your Read E-Z for a while, it is normal for the vinyl strap to begin to look dirty and dingy. This is caused by excess ink from the pages of your books and the oils from your hands rubbing onto the strap. Cleaning can be accomplished by using a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol and wiping both sides of the strap.

The Read E-Z is wrapped in fabric, but, it is not washable. You should avoid getting your Read E-Z wet, as this will damage it. If you treat your Read E-Z as you would the book you are reading, and keep your hands clean, your Read E-Z will stay cleaner longer and give you much enjoyment!

Custom Orders

Did you know that you can request the Read E-Z be made in a size that isn't normally offered? Simply send me an email or call me and we can discuss your custom order size so you can enjoy that special book on your TBR list!
