I prefer to read indoors :-)

Indoors thank you. I have neither the opportunity or the desire to read books anywhere else.

I do tend to read indoors by a reading lamp, particularly since I like to read at night. However, I will sometimes read in the backyard on a sunny day. There's nothing like natural sunlight when reading :)

I have to vote for indoors - more comfy and cozy

Mostly indoors because it is a bit quieter and more comfortable. But if I am out by the pool or the beach, a book is a must!!

I mostly read indoors (mostly because it's the Winter time here all the freakin time) I really want to read on a barn for some reason.

I usually read indoors, because I'm sensitive to bugs and sun and basically outdoors in general. There are also more distractions outside. However, I love to read outside when it's a nice temperature, like 60 Fahrenheit. It can set an atmosphere that I really enjoy, and makes everything feel more natural to me.

Indoors. Anytime it's warm enough outside to read, there are bugs. Which normally wouldn't annoy me, but anytime I curl up with my book in a tree or on the picnic table, the mosquitoes flock to me.

I can't read outdoors. I can never concentrate, it feels somewhat wrong to read outside, even though I usually get bored and wish I have something to read...

I think that it depends on the setting of your book. Reading a book outside that takes place in the outdoors can make you feel like you're there and help with the immersion into the story.

I prefer reading indoors. It's less distracting inside.
That said, I do like finding a nice, quiet place on a nice day and reading outside.

I like to read wherever is more comfortable at a certain time. If I'm somewhere that the television is really loud inside and it is very quiet outside, I will read outside. If it is really loud and busy outside and quieter inside, I will read inside.
