$0.02: the way to read more books is with a really good pair of earbuds.
The Libby app (with Audible to fill in the blanks) makes it incredibly easy to train up your listening speed dramatically, making it possible to finish several books per week for free, while doing your morning rituals, commuting, washing the dishes.
The thing you have to absorb is that reading more does not come at the cost of doing other things, unless those other things are podcasts or recorded music.
You just have to be somewhat assertive about realizing that if you shave for 3-4 minutes, that's 1% of a novel at 2.5x speed. All of those interstitial moments in your day add up, fast.
