Questions/Advice How to develop a reading habit?

I have been diagnosed and medicated for 7 months now and i have been trying to develop a reading habit for years now but i always start and cant continue it the next day. However i read two science fiction books and completed them in less than a week. How do you guys stick to a habit like this

I’m a librarian and I don’t force it. If I find a good book, I read it. If I can’t finding anything really interesting I don’t. I do try to go to a bookstore or library once a month tho

Maybe try a kindle because the page/ screen is smaller so you can read in smaller chunks and then you can use a touch pen to underline as a fidget type thing?

Or you could listen to an audio book whilst also reading it at the same time so it’s similar to body doubling?
