Books are a slower source of information —- and that’s a good thing. Like most of us you have trained yourself out of being able to sustain focus on long term but ultimately rewarding things, like reading a long or challenging book.

My advice is to set a timer and gradually increase it. Start with 10 minutes. Put your phone in the other room. Set you timer. And just read. Repeat. On the third day raise it by a minute. Repeat. Start looking for other ways to exercise your ability to sustain focus and reduce quick hit, dopamine juicing time sucks. You will get better over time.
