Sounds like an awful lot of work to me.
I'm too lazy even to have baths! Haven't had one in decades :)

I have read in the tub only once and there is a funny story behind my experience. We have a tub with jets and I had the jets turned on and leaned forward in an attempt to get more comfortable. When I leaned forward, the jets shot on my back and sprayed water all over my back rather forcefully, which startled me, and sprayed water everywhere. Sadly, I dropped a the book in the tub. We now our the owners of a very sad copy of Simon Winchester's "Professor and the Madman". I have never read in the bathtub again.

The possibility of ruining my book is strong enough for me to forgo this simple, but oh so alluring luxury, so no.

Yes! I can't stop. It's such a double edged sword because it's the l=time people won't disturb me but there's also the fear of dropping the book in the bath D;

No, I have not. I usually only take a bath when I really want to relax. But, I would probaby not read in the bathtub because I would be afraid to get the book wet.

Oh nooooo! I've read on my cell phone but hang my arms out of the tub! Not comfortable, but the fear of dropping my phone in the water is greater than the want of comfort!

no I haven't. I am way to worried that it will fall and ruin my book. Though I could see how it would be nice and relaxing.

Oh yes, I just love to read in the bath; it adds to the experience :) Of course I don't use my Kindle for this purpose; paperbacks are more forgiving :mrgreen:

Of course! There is nothing like taking twenty minutes to catch up on a few pages and enjoy a bath at the same time. I find it very relaxing.
