I suspect you actually still read books because you love and enjoy reading them. To me they are one of life's great pleasures. I actually mostly enjoyed English throughout my schooling, but I actually loved reading anything and nothing was going to turn me off reading. But for most (but not all) of my peers it was a waste of time. Even in what in the US would be known as Junior High I thought at the time I was observing the murder of any developing love of reading in the majority of my peers who were capable of developing such a love but had not.
Unfortunately I don't have any real solutions.
