what's the difference?
i should be reading or i will be reading?
There could be a number of different meanings. Modal verbs are very complicated because they are used in English to express so many emotive feelings.

"I should be reading." - Present tense, indicative. It expresses obligation or duty. You might be doing something else and not reading, and maybe feeling guilty about it. It might mean that you are about to stop what you are doing and start reading.
"I will be reading." - Future tense, indicating intent or prediction.
In British English, the form, "I shall be reading" is (I think) equivalent to what an American means when s/he says "I will be reading." A BrE native speaker may correct me on that, of course.
