Yes actually it was easier for me to read school books etc, mby because its usually less text overall, except if u read thick massive "proper" textbooks on stuff, but thats too much for me again. Kind of like,,, if thers too much text on a page my brain just shuts off, if theres pictures its easier. Also fiction books made for teens (?) that are written in a way that is more spaced out in a sense are easier for me to read. The last book I remember finishing (2-3 years ago, except for in the miso soup and piercing by ryu murakami, very short books) was happy girl lucky by holly smale, its very like?. Non compact
oh, in that case I recommend getting ebooks, because you can space out the text so much, that it doesn't overpower you anymore
that helps me a lot, because too much small reading and I just close it all
but when I can change the font size and the space between the lines, I get way more done, because reading is just so much easier on the eyes and the mind
But then I have no visual representation of how much I have left 😭
every ebook reader has a percentage function
it's a bit more hidden, but you still have insight into this

(example from my free program for windows 10)

reading is a skill like any other thing, the more you do it, the better you get at it. it sounds like you are just out of practise and are used to other types of media that require less focus and attention, so i would say like eostre said, put off time to read, doesnt have to be a lot, just so you get used to reading maybe 2-3 pages and then you can add more pages/time the more you get used to it, and also remove distractions when you read, like put all electronics away and put them on silent mode or something

ive struggled with reading as well, having gone from reading novels as a kid to hardly being able to read a single page as an adult. everything i wrote above is what has helped me get better at reading and holding my focus again (i dont read fiction anymore tho, only uni texts but i struggled with that a lot when i started uni and now after 3 years i can finally actually sit down and read a text without getting too distracted)

Started reading more books lately, and I found that at the beginning I was not able to read more than 5 pages. When I was little I spent the majority of my days reading books, so it was a shocker. 

I feel like the key is to build momentum and get reading into your everyday life as a routine. Before bed, in the morning, with your cup of tea. 

edit: I repeated myself lol
