Looking for "pulpit for table"

Hello, I am looking for something that could be called, a "pulpit for table". The thing is that I am not sure how it is called so I can't search for it yet, if it exists. Let me describe it:

Basically I am looking for something to place on my table in my room that would allow books that I place on it to be inclined at a certain angle. That would be better for reading than placing the book flat on the table. And also for my laptop since my XPS 13 has a screen that is pretty "low" so I have to tilt my head of incline my body if I want to look at it now.

How is that called? Best places to buy it?

A tabletop lectern?

A pulpit for a table sounds like a Lectern.

The book thing you describe is just a book stand.

Best answer: Technically what you're describing is a tabletop lectern, but I think what you actually want might be one of these, since it's more adjustable for laptop purposes.

Editor's desk is another term for this.

Best answer: I use one of these laptop stands (there are many like it, browse around) for all kinds of things including holding my iPad up like a TV.

I like to watch netflix in bed or while on the couch, etc. I use a music stand (from Goodwill) to hold my laptop.

Best answer: A friend of mine just got a Roost stand for her laptop and it is awesome at doing exactly this thing.
