Kindle is good but I prefer a solution I've been working on for a while. I use an app called QuickReader (speed reading app) to read all books my books at about 500 words per minute. The app takes ePub format. You can very easily send it to the app with Calibre (and also convert PDF to ePub).
I had the book Future Perfect in hardcover sitting on my shelf for 3 months. I loaded it in QR and because the app tells you how long it will take at your WPM pace to finish that chapter and the book, I know I will finish this chapter in 6:53 and the book in 1:50:49. It makes books much less intimidating and I usually do 15-30 minute sessions. You don't get bored or distracted because the words are being pushed in front of you. It's amazing.
I've never read more books in a shorter time with this system.
I think I will write a full post on my system. Also protip: Get the audio if available and listen to that when you can't read.
