I do not do the local library anymore because I do not like the pressure of returning a book "on time"
and
I usually have several books going at once.
So, I get books from swap sites, or from the dozens of free download places on the web
and I use a Nook to read in dr. offices or anyplace I will have to wait around.

And, like you, reading while lying on my side has always been the most comfortable.
My secret desire is for one of those "fainting couches" or chaise lounges to loll around on while reading!
