I used short essays and short stories to get back into reading, maybe that approach would help you. They're really old, but try A Modest Proposal or some of the satirical essays by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens), they're short and sweet and inspire a desire for more.
If you like reading older books, check out https://standardebooks.org/. They make nice digital editions of public domain works for free.
Nice, looks like a bit more care went into the visual presentation in comparison to Project Gutenberg. Thanks for sharing.
I read a ton as a kid too (probably averaged 3-5 books a week for many years), as an adult it's hard to escape the cycle of wanting to feel productive but I've since tried my best to remember that reading for pleasure isn't meant to be productive in the capitalist sense. It's an investment in your own happiness, in my opinion, and that can be productive in other ways. Trying new genres or quick "summer reads" has helped me not get bored.
I mostly just don't read much because I have other hobbies I like more and tend to watch a lot of video content and browse social media. I didn't really do any of those things much as a teen, other than a bit of Facebook because everyone had it. For me it's not the priority that it used to be, but I have a book server for easy access when I get the urge.
