The stand itself folds down very flat. Like seriously flat. Very thin, and sort of laptop sized and weighs next to nothing.

I find it easiest to use in conjunction with a stand like the Fopydo stand, which costs a whole $15 or so. Also you can get the stand in a package with a book reading aid, which will hold your book open, for $40 or thereabouts. Makes the whole process pretty much a no brainer.
