I personally hate reading outside in direct sunlight. But in a nice screened in shelter with a comfy chair and a drink with an umbrella in it, and some nice quiet music playing in the background, game on! I will read with whatever is handy.
I read pretty much everywhere. A week ago I was meeting a woman in a park. Not surprisingly, she was late. Of course, I read while I waited. I was reading at lunch and sunlight streaming in through the window lighted the table. Not a problem.

I don't read at the beach because I avoid that much direct sun.

I can't remember ever reading in the dark.
