I'm trying to practice becoming better at reading books when there are distracting sounds etc. in the background. I just have so many fantastic books that I've purchased and I haven't read any of them.

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.
