To build up the habit or hopefully get passionate, try to read with/for your or your relative’s kid(s). Not necessarily together with the same book, just sit beside them on the couch, park, or wherever and see what conversation follows.
Need time to read? I find the best ones are while waiting to board your flight, Uber, and other transport.

Try picking books just for fun, and reading in a pleasant setting. It makes a big difference.

I doubt aphantasia is related. I have it, but have been a huge book reader all my life. Have you tried audiobooks? That's been my go to whenever I'm driving, cleaning, brushing teeth, etc.
I think I suffer from aphantasia which may be related to the impossibility of getting hook to anything by reading. I've tried mangas as well and it's a bit easier, but still find hard to really enjoy.
Of course, most of the books I tried are the ones that I had to read in school, but I also tried a few recommendations from friends and the result was the same.
It makes me a bit sad.
