FWIW, you are permitted one 15lb (7kg) carry on
and a "personal item". Said Personal Item could be a computer bag containing a computer, power supply and, indeed, a book.

Passengers may only carry on one bag plus a personal item, such as a purse, briefcase, backpack or similar, per passenger.
With Jetstar, you are permitted 10Kg (22lb) of carry-on.
