I'm trying to listen to some ambient sounds while reading, but I'm finding that I focus too much on the sound and not enough on my kindle page. Ugh.
I do have some pairs of ebooks and audiobooks. Like, I own both the book form and the audiobook form for select titles. I can use those audiobook-ebook pairs to read, but I really want to read a particular book that I don't happen to have the audiobook for. I can buy the audiobook for it, but I'd prefer to read the book itself without the assistance of an audiobook if I can save some money.

I have trouble reading with background noise as well.

Can't read while a tv is on or people are talking. I've found putting on a relaxation app with a thunderstorm playing is perfect for me. I can't have it on with headphones though because it distracts me too much so I have to just play it through my phone speaker
