I understand that dilemma - for me, it usually stems from having too many choices. I definitely want to read, and always have a book (or two) going, but sometimes I just don't know what I want to read next. That's when I let Calibre "choose a random book" - or use the "Shuffle" function on the Marvin app on my iPad to pick my next book. And I won't always choose the very first book that pops up - I'm just looking for the one that strikes my fancy. Some folks roll dice - first to choose a page on the "home page" of their reader, then to choose which one on that page. There are lots of ways to choose - assuming you really want to read.  |
I think we all want to read. Occasionally like the OP I almost can't. I start a book and can't get a grasp on it mentally. So I try another and another. Long before ebooks I had this happen and usually had 20 or more unread books at hand that I wanted to read. Nothing helped overall but time. I found other, generally less pleasant things to do like housework
Probably the OP is over his/her reading slump by now. Hope so.

PS the thread title implies the OP is having trouble getting into reading anything, so probably that is where we are all going astray if indeed we are.
