My Nexus 7 case is this type (though not in white!)

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sd-tablet...ite-p35716.htm

I am (or was until distracted) happily reading a history of the Celts on the Nexus 7 in landscape, two column mode.

I am lying right back in a sofa with my feet on a tuffet. As I type this post the front edge of the Chromebook is at my navel and the hinge is resting half way up my thighs. I call this "slob posture one", and it's very comfortable. I can read webpages for hours like this, and now I have Overdrive Read that too works comfortably.

But back to the Nexus 7. In slob posture one the landscape Nexus balances on my abdomen, and the screen is well placed for reading. A tap from either thumb turns pages with minimum effort. If I shuffle a bit I can put the landscape Nexus 7 on the flat topped arm of the sofa, but page turning is not quite so convenient.
