This is only $10 and adjustable, more durable and has a place-holder.
You need a document easel.
Typists used to use them, they're still a thing.
The first one is a document holder. You put a document on it so you can refer to it while typing.

You reminded me...back in my day we had this:
https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Desktop-Document-Adjustable-Positions/dp/B00C0Q0UDE/
It would clip to the side of your monitor, and the little plastic line-highlighter would highlight the current line of BASIC from the issue of BYTE magazine you were copying code out of.
The alternative is to do the travelers notebook idea below but rather than have a actual cover w/ elastic get a sort of mini-bag or document holder that can have more than one, with space for your pens etc. I have / am trying the traveler notebook idea but find it most annoying when the one I want to use won't lie flat because of the others.

r/bujo is useful for finding simple, non artsy bullet journals. I've done bullet journalling for a while now and the simpler it is for you the more likely you'll use it regularly. I would also recommend an organizer: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MQOZ56O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DpkxCbYSWPCG2
I use mine to keep all of my pens, pencils and bullet journal in one location so I'm less likely to lose it. I bought mine off a site called MochiThings but Amazon sells similar ones.
I also want to mention email. I average about 70 work emails per day, plus about 30 personal emails per day, so I have to process roughly 100 emails per day. I used to not treat email like a GTD inbox; I would just browse my email inbox when I got bored or when I got a popup notification. Then I would read the email & decide what to do with it...but did not do so according to the GTD workflow.
Instead what I do now is process each email against my GTD "inbox-zero" checklist: what is this? What's the outcome desired? etc. I don't just blinding process email because I feel like it or because a distracting notification appears; I treat it just like my Todoist capture inbox & deal with each email appropriately. Most of the time, that involves more than just responding to an email - it also means logging a reminder of it to execute a next-action, or to keep someone in the loop on a regular basis, or to be a waiting-for item to review at the end of the day, to see if I need to follow-up with someone on something.
It was somewhat difficult to break that habit, as I've been randomly dealing with my various email inboxes since the late 90's like that, but most recently, I've been keeping a short version of my customized inbox-zero checklist on a swing-arm clipboard on my monitor. Under ten bucks on Amazon:

The "quickie" version of my inbox-zero checklist:

It's a version of the "put it in front of the door" trick...basically "training wheels" for reminding me to treat my email inboxes as GTD inboxes & not just approaching them randomly. The full version of my customized inbox-zero checklist is three pages long, which doesn't fit too well on a single clipboard, so this is an efficient method to jog my memory & visually remind me to use the checklist on my email instead of just dead-heading it.
Useful things? My dual-monitor desktop with a fancy keyboard, a bottomless coffee cup, my colored pens and fancy notebooks, plenty of scratch paper. Not so useful things? An aloe plant, a bowling pin, and a sign of my sports fandom.
Actually, something that's very handy is a paper organization system. I have one of these to hold random desk papers, plus a small filing cabinet. I like having a tidy desk. Also, even the cheapest document holder for reading things while using the computer.
You gotta have some photos of friends, family, pets, pretty views, etc. For those moments when you just need to see some loved ones or transport yourself somewhere else.
Also, ladybug cubicle clips or any other fun style of cubicle clip that you like because they are super useful and cute at the same time :)
And that's how I "Pimp my cube" :D
EDIT- holy crap there's sheep and bees and TURTLES TOO! So much cute!
FYI, to keep the cost down, I ordered one of these to hold the antenna in place. Will try it with his antenna next weekend. It'll be hilariously stupid, but if it works, great!
Would something like this work? [3M Monitor Mount Document Clip] (https://amazon.com/dp/B001SR1242/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SAuEDbMME85Y9) or this: Plastic Monitor Mount Copyholder

I think you just want a copy holder.
I have a document processing class that comes with two books and the flimsiest document holder in the world! It's just one long strip of cardboard folded into a triangle, and it doesn't stay up if you take the book off to flip a page. The document holder on my school/job wishlist would make my life way easier.
Make sure to compliment your robot overlord once it comes and overtakes your home!
