Technically, they do not. The Book of Common Prayer has been traditionally used by members of the Anglican Communion, or the churches who are officially associated with the Archbishop of Canterbury in England. Since many Anglican dioceses have recently left communion with Canterbury, affiliated with the Roman Pontiff, and joined the Catholic Church, the Anglican liturgy has been adapted for use in the new Catholic dioceses.

The traditional form of prayer for Catholics is the Roman office, which is comprised of several books for each liturgical season. Another form of this office is available, and it is considerably shorter and takes up only one volume.

How do Catholics and non-Catholics read the bible?

There are many non-catholics who learn and study biblical texts from the KJV version. Catholics generally do not learn what is written in biblical text, they rely instead in the priest knowing what is written and telling them if they are right or wrong. Catholics generally learn from sermons and the book of common prayer but not the bible. Its rare that Catholics would know what was actually written in biblical text. The same holds true for any church system that teaches as the Catholics do (high church), this could also include Lutherans, Episcopalians, and the Church of England. Most of these church systems never teach biblical text to their parishioners. They sermon to them, and have them repeat (chant) from the book of common prayer. I use to be one of these until I actually learned biblical text, that is how I know.
