An adjustable, portable platform for supporting and holding written materials or the like in a selectable position convenient to the user is disclosed. The platform comprises a central member and a pair of laterally movable frame members disposed on each side of the central member. A pair of panels are pivotally attached at a proximal end thereof to the platform proximate the central member substantially between the upper and lower transverse sections, with retaining means thereon for securely retaining the written materials or the like in a secure position on the panels. Attachment means on the pivotable panels allow the pivotable panels to be adjustably attached to the frame members to accept and adapt to the written materials. The pivotable panels also allow for adjustment of the lateral width of the platform and are attached via dowels near the longitudinal section of the central member, with each pivotable panel having a base portion and a slidable portion attached thereto, the slidable portion having the attachment means provided thereon. A shelf rest is joined to the bottom of the central member projecting transversely to support the bottom edge of a book or other materials to be held in the platform. Various supports and straps can be adjusted to orient and support the platform in a wide number of positions relative the user.
