Struggling to read long form content after years of intense interactivity and piecemeal info. Haven't decided if that's good or bad yet.

I have also learned most of my recent skills in programming that way too

I often do something similar, but replace the chapters with a summary from somewhere like

if you swap in "listen" for "read", does it become easier? (Audio books, articles, etc). Consume content away from screen
