I would like an idea besides just putting something heavy on it overnight.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world already gave you a good answer, but incase your issue is the "pages keep closing unless I tightly hold them to the sides":

I learned a trick years ago from a librarian who said it protects the binding of your new book, which also helps with the above problem:

Rofl... I'm a patient person and even I don't have the patience for that

Edit: I take it back, as @schmidtgenetics suggested, I tried it in my current book, that was annoyingly closing itself all the time, at around 10 pages a go, and it does work really really well, and only toook 1 or 2 minutes.

So, thanks for the tip, I'll be doing this going forward!

Yeah someone introduced me to a nice eReader and haven't bought a physical book in awhile :) (although I do miss physical books sometimes).

I do it like 10 pages at a time, no need to do single pages.
