I'm looking to get a new recliner chair that's comfy for long reading sessions. Any recommendations?

I'm not necessarily only looking for a specific chair but also recommendations for a type of chair. Any opinions on something like this guy?

It isn't necessarily my favorite, but the one I seem to spend the most time reading on:

In all seriousness, I have a chair like that. I like it, but I sometimes have trouble getting it to stay in a particular position. I also tend to get tired of having my feet at the exact same height all the time. They are significantly cheaper than actual recliners if you aren't looking to spend a lot, but you miss out on things like that. Have you tried sitting in one?

Absolutely the toilet. Second favorite reading position is laying out on a couch or the bed.

Bro, I got you:

This is the reading chair from Ikea. I tested it out at a friend's place, and man, it works. A man can get some serious reading done in one of these bad boys.

I’ve ended up doing most of my long reads in hanging egg chairs because the curve supports my back and the sway keeps my legs from going numb. The outdoor ones with cushioned seats work just as well indoors, and the water‑resistant fabric has held up to coffee spills without fuss. If you’ve got a corner with decent light, it turns into a pretty chill little reading nook.

I read on my ipad a lot so I actually like sitting at a table where I can use the ipad stand have it a comfortable distance. In a long reading session I don't like having to hold it the whole time and I don't like having it in my lap because then my head/neck is in a weird position and eventually hurts. If you're reading for 10-20 minutes on the toilet any position is fine, but if you try to read for a couple hours the position matters now, where when I was younger I'd lay on the ground and read and not care. Getting old sucks!
