Each minute that you read per day, equals about 1 book per year. So if you read 20 minutes per day, you will read around 20 books per year.
A bookstand such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MVBDIPU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... is helpful to hold the book on the table where you eat. This way whenever you sit down, the book is open and ready to go.
Books are simply a media format like a podcast or a movie. The only difference is that, they are pure language, and it requires a bit more from you to read, than it does to listen or watch. Reading is a bit more "active." However the pure language, and the active reading, makes them really dense and effective for communicating ideas. The "ideas per minute" is very high for books.
If you are a software developer, you're already a writer in some sense. Books therefore I see as very familiar for developers.
