Indoors, under the covers, in bed, is my best place for reading.
Outside can get annoying as I only like outside reading when it's warm and sunny and then there's too much glare on the paper or my neck gets hurt at the wrong angle when I'm trying to read AND sunbathe. Someone really should sort that dilemma out.

Outdoors for me, I am an afternoon reader, I usually find a sunny or shady spot depending on the weather.

Indoors. In the outdoors there are much too many distractions

It depends on where I am. When I am on vacation, I love reading outside on a hammock or lawn chair. I love sitting outside during the day in the backyard with a good book.

Both. As an avid book junkie, I read indoors, outdoors, on planes, on trains, etc.

Outdoors, when it's nice out! Reading inside when it's cold outside is awfully nice, too, though.

I read everywhere. Inside is great. Outside, weather permitting. I take my Kindle with me everywhere. I read in the car (not when I'm driving), in waiting rooms, in long check-out lines, on break during work hours, etc. All time favorite place to read is in my glider rocker (inside) with all doors and windows open.

I love reading outside, in the backyard, on the beach, in the park, on the lake. I'll settle for inside if no other options are available, definitely can't complain about reading by a nice warm fire on a snowy day.

Depending on the weather! I live in St. Louis so the summers can get oppressively hot but if its sunny with a breeze I love sitting outside with coffee and my pups to read but it has to be an actual book, it doesn't feel the same with a kindle.

I do not have a preference. However, weather permitting I will read outdoors.
Some of my happiest moments are when lost within the pages of a book!

I wish I could read outside but the sun reflecting off the pages makes my eyes hurt. And yes I realize how nerdy that sentence makes me sound. :lol:

It depends, reading out doors is at times relaxing and I can get some fresh air. Reading indoors allows me to concentrate without being distracted. Both are delightful but I generally read indoors out of laziness to go outside.
