Do you sit up enough to read comfortably?

They aren't straight up. You can read from that angle but I do my reading on my front side!

Yes it is a very comfortable chair and also very good quality and nice looking

Yes and you can fall asleep when you're in the shade. We are very pleased with the quality and durability.

Yes. You will sit slightly higher than average, but it does not affect motion.

It needs to be adjusted to your individual size and to where you normally hold what you are reading. Once that is done minor shifts take care of the rest.

Yes, I have a chaise lounge style chair below the lamp and it is perfect for reading.

I think it would depend on what your specific vision issue is and also the font size of your reading material.

Not really. It is more for looks than comfort. I don't sit on mine that much.

No, it is not high enough to watch TV or read a book. use to raise my legs while sitting in recliner

Yes, it is, but like another post stated, you do have to hold it and move it down the page and your arm may get tired. I use it for reading papers, etc. with very small print. It is the best one I've ever had for that.

The angle of the prop is not ideal for hands free reading. To read most comfortably you have to hold it yourself.

To sit on as to read yes. To lay on to take a nap no. I'm 5'4" and it is a perfect fit for me nap wise. But it is a BEAUTIFUL chair and easy to put together If I could do it then anyone can.

I would say "yes". You sit comfortably and all the work is done with the legs. Handholds beside the seat allow you to stay in position easily, without any strain.

If the strap is adjusted where the plastic slide is not in the back, then yes it would be good for lying down and reading. The beam however is very bright so it may wash out many pages or create a glare. If you need a bright light for reading however, this is the hot ticket.

Yes, you can adjust the angle by the anchor on the back of the stand and it is reading friendly.

I find it awkward to use, both sitting down and rising. It is also hard to raise up from a reclining position. It is, however, very comfortable to lay in to read. I always make sure it its near a strong surface, so I can use that to help me push up. The seat is about 18 inches from the floor, but your feet are not directly beneath you making it somewhat difficult to get out of. I hope this helps. I do like it and am glad I bought it.

It depends on the bulb you installed on the lamp. The lamp height is good for the reading.

yes, but only if you rest your pen on the page. If you write quickly, its not a problem.

I would have to give the short answer of 'no'. You really cannot "prop it up" for reading, I suppose you could bend the back cover halfway back behind and sit it on a table but I can't see that being a comfortable position to read. This product does a great job of protecting a Paperwhite Kindle and it fits securely. The back cover can easily fold completely behind to be held like that to read. :)
