I made a conscious decision to start reading again a few years back, but prior to that I read hardly at all. There's a limited number of hours in the day, and it's a habit that you need to get into.
I do have to admit most of the stuff that I read is absolute trash. But it's trash that I find entertaining, and unfortunately a lot of Western media really doesn't seem to care about whether something is entertaining or not. (And to an extent I guess I'm not stuck in traffic I am traffic -- I hope people find Future sepsis entertaining when I publish it later this year, but I do have to admit I'm writing it because it's a story I'm enjoying telling, rather than a story that I know someone else will enjoy reading)

Kindle is perfect for me because I travel a lot for work and carrying 162 paperbacks with me isn't practical for either me or the poor airport security, but I try to read dead tree books to my son at home because there's something iconic about reading from a thick leather bound hardcover book.
I guess I'd have to move to audio books if I couldn't read anymore. Short form media kind of loses it's luster.
