Creo que es más habitual decir "le resulta fácil".

No entiendo lo de "yo no leo mucho".

Oops!

No lo veo mucho. También puedes decir "no lo leo mucho". Depende de lo que quieras decir.

The title of the post is a bit misleading.
The first sentence has an indirect object, but no direct object. And the indirect object is used in a way that can't be done in English. Perhaps this is your real question. The translation of the first sentence, with irmamar's rewording, is, "It's easy for him/her/you."

The second sentence has only a direct object: "I don't see him/it very often."
With the other verb: "I don't read it very often."
