Join the club my friend. When it comes to boring textbook reading, my pace is about the same as yours and I retain NOTHING.
Recently, I started skipping chapters entirely. Instead, I'll just go to the end of a section and read the last few paragraphs that sum up the whole thing. As I read through the synopsis, I'll flip back and skim the chapter to find things I feel that I don't understand.
Most of my professors just assign textbook reading for no reason... it's never discussed, never tested, and apparently never useful. I usually don't even buy the required books anymore, and guess what? Same GPA either way.
