I had the problem a lot in the beginning. I start and quit books several times over over the years. Then, one day it started working and it’s awesome.

Try it again, once it “clicks” you’ll just be able to do it when you want to.

Oh, I've finished a few books. I just occasionally take a while for a certain chapter!

Edit: I do appreciate the supportive attitude; however, it did feel unintentionally dismissive. Fwiw, I was venting, not looking for a solution!

All good! Were different people and what works for me might not work for you! I just love books and I want you to be able to enjoy them too. :)

I realized a while back I wasn't reading anymore. But as a kid, I was the one who'd use a flashlight to read under a blanket to avoid getting caught staying up. I'd even read a book walking between classes in highschool, navigating with my peripheral vision (I realized I never needed a whole five minutes for class change, so what better way to use up the time?).

So, definitely on the same team!
