Are you in a physical space where you can actually read aloud? Or find one? Maybe even into a recording device so you can play back your reading if you don't capture the sense of words when you read them this way? (I add that last bit because I often find I don't retain very well when I read aloud). Or simply sub-audible the words if there is some constraints about the sound you may make if you read to yourself aloud? A reading speed where you spoke as if to an audience would definitely be faster than 1-3 pages/hour.
I have more trouble engaging myself in what I must read. I can burn through fiction books in a day - reading for knowledge can take 20 times that because I find myself on my feet and doing random chores/errands/pleasure seeking activities. It takes real will power to sit and read something that is "good" for me rather than pure fun.
