I can read Scribe for short periods on my back holding with both hands. Otherwise sitting up and having it rest on my lap or surface is what I do.

I actually get more reading done and can focus better when I'm lying down on my side, because I'm most comfortable that way. If I'm sitting at a table I'm never comfortable, and if I'm sitting on a sofa or an easy chair I'm more worried about holding the book comfortably--putting it on my lap is no good because then I'm looking down (bad for my neck to be looking down all the time) and if I'm holding it up my arms get tired and I'm thinking about that.
Note that all of this pertains to reading for pleasure...if I'm studying or reading something for work I sit at my desk, and in that case I'm usually reading and taking notes at the same time.
It just goes to show that different people have different ways of doing things...and that's ok. It be a incredibly boring world if we all did everything the same way and liked the same things!
