Most of my reading is actually audiobooks, but when I sit down to read an ebook, knowing I'm going to read for awhile, I let family members know not to bug me. I sit in my comfy chair with a cup of coffee or tea on a warmer, arrange the cat in her little bed within petting distance and turn the Ipod on to classical music. Now that it is winter, I add an afghan. Alas, due to health issues, I can rarely sit more than 45 minutes before getting up to either use the facilities or to walk around a little (neuropathy).
Yes, like many of you, I read or listen on and off nearly daily. Some books are too complex to be read that way. You just need uninterrupted time for them.
edited to add: I have never read in bed. I don't even listen to audiobooks in bed unless I'm there because I'm sick or injured. Even as a kid, I was a comfy chair reader.
