Product Review & Giveaway; Reading Comfort Goodies

November 19, 2009 by Darlene

Well it’s no secret that I really love the products at Reading Comfort. I had the opportunity to review The Book Buddy a while back and you can see that review here (Also, check out the promotional video for the Book Buddy). I just love it and use it all the time in bed especially but even on the couch-really anywhere. It really does make reading a lot easier and for me with my sore hands, it’s a lifesaver at times. Anyhow, Amanda asked if I’d like to review any other products and I jumped at the chance of course. I was lucky enough to review quite a few of their terrific products including bookmarks and book covers.


Elastic Four-Ribbon Bookma
rk (the Burgundy colored one) – Well I just love this bookmark and it’s so beautiful. It’s got pretty ribbons and a lovely button towards the top. I found a different way of using it than it’s supposed to be but the elastic itself is quite snug (it will probably loosen over time) but for now I put the ribbons in the book and bring the elastic around the entire book with the button sitting at the top and it’s working just great! That way the pages of my book aren’t getting smushed in any way. This bookmark is really great for hardback books or the bigger paperback ones. The four ribbons can also be used as markers for pages you wish to go back to for quotes, etc. This bookmark is really made for hardcovers and you put the elastic around the front cover itself and use the ribbons as bookmarks but with my way I can use it on any book it’ll fit and it doesn’t damage pages or the cover.

Glitter Mark (the black one with the x button) – again this bookmark is beautiful as well. It’s a smaller one so it fits really well on those smaller paperback books or even the medium size ones. Again, I’m using it the same way as the other one. I put the lovely ribbon in my book and bring the elastic around the whole book with the glittery X on the front. It looks really pretty and it’s working just great! Again, this one should be used like the 4 Elastic one but my way is working just fine for me.

Now we move on to the book covers which I love! I have always liked book covers especially when I go out somewhere because I don’t always want people gawking at me trying to see what I’m reading. lol. I got a set of three – one for a small paperback, one that fits the medium size paperbacks, and the last one for the bigger hardbacks or even a bigger paperback of which I’ve had quite a few. I’ve tried all three sizes and I really like them. They fit the books well and have a nice long ribbon to mark your page. As well, they have a pretty button on the top too which just makes them look even more attractive.


The inside pattern of the ones I got is just so pretty. I’m kind of girly when it comes to this kind of stuff so I really liked this pattern. As well look how nice it is when you have your book in it with the ribbon.

I’ve found all the products I’ve gotten at Reading Comfort very well made. My Book Buddy gets lots of use and is still in the same condition as when I got it. The book covers are made of very nice material and I imagine they will last quite a long time as well. The bookmarks are made of good quality elastic and seem very durable. Make sure to check out the Reading Comfort website for all that they offer. There are so many products that would make fantastic Christmas presents for the book lover in your life.

GIVEAWAY: And some really good news–I’ve got a bit of a giveaway for you. I’ve been given the opportunity to have one of my readers win their choice of either a book cover or a bookmark.

Check out the book covers, glitter marks and the elastic four-ribbon bookmarks and come back and tell me exactly which one you’d like to enter to win. You can only pick one!

This giveaway is open to US & Canadian residents only (your win will be shipped directly from Reading Comfort) and I will be drawing for the winner on Saturday, December 12, 2009. Good luck to you all!

My Thanks…
To Amanda with Reading Comfort for the products sent to me for review.

    The bookmarks are very pretty! I'd order one for myself, but apparently they don't ship to Europe 🙁

    November 19, 2009 at 10:22 am

    Ack! I want them all! But I guess if I HAD to decide, I'd pick the Elastic Four Ribbon Bookmark. I'm still hung up on wanting a Book Buddy (and now they have matching blankies!!!!). And I don't know if you saw Nicole's reading pillow, but I want that too. I'm waiting for somebody to offer me one!!!

  3. Nicola says

    Oh, I like the Elastic Four Ribbon Bookmark! I'd love one of the green ones, not picky which particular one. What a great giveaway!

    November 19, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    Wow, I really love their book covers….very pretty! I am hoping that I get a Book Buddy for Christmas.
    I would love for a chance to win a book cover! Thanks, Dar!

    I'd like to win the book covers-I think I'd use them the most as I usually just use scrap paper for bookmarks (I certainly don't dog-ear! anymore) but I'd like the covers cos they're pretty and I don't always like people to be able to see what I'm reading.

  7. Pamela Keener says

    November 19, 2009 at 1:42 pm

    I would love the glitter mark.

    I choose to win – Diamonds – Blue – with Button bookmark!

    November 19, 2009 at 3:23 pm

    I would choose a bookmark, since mine are paper and get ripped easily.

    I love the Solid Light Blue – with Rose.

    p.s. your bookshelf needs to be re-sized, its overlapping posts and words.

    I would love to win the elastic red floral bookmark. I laughed when you said you don't like people gawking at you trying to figure out what you're reading…because I'm a gawker! lol

    What great products and thanks for sharing the pictures of how you used them as well. I would love the Four Ribbon Bookmark as I love pretty and useful bookmarks. I am not one for using bookcovers as they seem a bit cumbersome to me.

    I really want a Book Buddy after reading all of the reviews! I have added it to my wishlist and hope to be gifted with one!

    Both products look very nice. I also seem to use a sales receipt, a gum wrapper or a paper clip for a bookmark…

    But I do like the idea of a book cover. I'm also taking off the book jacket when I get a new book because I don't want to mess it up. So I think the book covers would be just perfect.

    Thanks for offering another great giveaway.
