I like the idea of books more than actually reading them

It's kind of frustrating because I know what I like, sci fi and fantasy. I've bought several books I really liked the synopsis of and I've read those books to pages 100-150 and every time I just get bored. Like, I know the books are good, interesting, and fun, but I just get bored no matter what I read.

Am I just cooked from growing up playing video games and youtube? Literally every day, I'm like, "Maybe I'll finally read my book today. I'll just play an hour or two of my video games and go read" and then I'm like "Maybe another more hour" and then when I finally get to reading my book, I read like a few pages, a chapter at most, get bored, swap to the next book, read to pages 100-150, get bored, rinse and repeat.

Am I just not a book person despite so dearly wanting to be one?
