Interestingly I can sit and work on the PC almost the whole day with no problem (I do shift positions a lot and have breaks, move around). But I can't read a book for a comparable time-span without getting neck and shoulder ache. And that despite changing positions a lot more. Reading while standing, while sitting, which laying in all kinds of ways. Does anybody have an idea why?

Do you have a bookstand, or do you hold the book up?

You could compare by, say, holding up your monitor while using the computer. (Not actually recommended, for obvious reasons.)
