I love to read in bed too but sometimes it is hard to stay awake. I have a great reading chair and ottoman that I love. Its a wing chair and very roomy. I like to read with by dog in my lap and a coffee close by. Especially in winter.

The coffee really just to stay warm in winter. I live in a country that loves winter. I don't find coffee actually keeps me alert though, usually the book does.

I've used all those positions you mentioned. I used to lay on the floor when I was a child, as I got older I started laying on the bed. Lately, I sit outside on the porch and read. You are right, it doesn't matter as long as you have a good book and you are comfortable.

I really like reading while laying down on my bed. It feels so comfortable lying down with the soft pillow below my head, and a good book on my hands. I can read in that position for hours. As long as I have the time I will read it. However now I am not as free as I used to be. Now I only do light reading which takes about the most one hour per reading session.
Previously when I was studying at the university, I had so much free time. At that time the only thing I was responsible for was myself and my studies. I don't have to worry about any other responsibilities such as doing house chores or something like that. I used to go to a book store nearby and bought second hand novels which are very much price reduced. Usually I would buy at least two books at a time. I could even spend two hours just standing there and choosing which books I wanted to buy. The books are so many, and I found so much fun being there.
Now the store is still there and the owner is still the same man. Whenever I go downtown I will make an effort to drop by the book store and buy at least a good book. Then when I reach home I would land on my bed and read the books. Yeah, I really like lying down on my bed while reading. That is my number one favorite position.

The most comfortable reading position for me is in a recliner. Something like those beach chair, where the back rest is at a gentle angel, not almost upright.
My favorite author is John Grisham and Jeffery Archer.
What's yours?

I like to prop myself up with my soft pillows and read. I feel comfortable and cozy and this makes me more comfortable to settle down and read a good book. I love to read before bed. I have quiet time then and can relax.

I usually read in my chair. I have a "reading nook" that I use every so often. If I don't use that... I use the chair in my living room.
I also sometimes read in bed but it's a lot more uncomfortable laying down and reading than it is sitting in a nice comfy chair.
