Almost like being in a squat position.

It eases the cramping in my legs. Also, it allows me to lean forward when I feel like I am going to pass out without falling off. That is what is so great about this site. How many people can you talk to about how you go to thet bathroom? Here it is just a normal conversation.

Does anyone else use something other than a book?

I have a knee that acts up so I don't want to compress it and raise it up high. LOL - this sounds so funny.
