You won't love this suggestion but;
focus on tactics till you are 1600 OTB.
If you must study openings- start a notebook (or use something chess positional trainer 3.3) Input your lines including a short explanation of why the moves make sense - asking yourself what purpose does the move serve towards-
1) control of the center
2) development
3) space
4) king safety
5) pawn structure (pawn islands/iso pawn etc.)
Play lots of games and then research where you went wrong using online databases and a chess engine.
if you must buy a book, go with something that is heavy on explanation like Watson's new series or whatever..
When you crack about 1600 otb then you might want to get a book or two that focuses on your opening and specific lines
just my .02
