Reading Glasses only from Prescription for Progressives--How do I?

I have a set of progressive lens with an add of +2.25. I find that
when reading I have to hold the book a little bit closer than I would
like. I would like to hold the book about 6 inches further away and
have the ability to look directly straight ahead through the lenses
and not through the bottom one-third of the lens.

So I guess I'm looking to get a set of reading glasses. The cheapest I
can find them locally is about $25, so I'd probably give one of the
cheap online eyeglass stores a try. I don't think they could screw up
readers.

Is it a simple matter of adjusting the add amount? In which direction
should I adjust and by how much to get my desired results?
