If your goal is to learn information from non-fiction books more quickly, you might be in search of a book summarization service. They outline the main points and cut a typical 4-6 non-fiction pop-science book down into a 15 minute summary. And even if you do read the whole book, it can be helpful to see the main contents outlined if you don't take your own notes.
There is a cottage industry of book summarization services aimed at business types with many to to choose from, like Blinkist or Instaread. Just Google and you'll find several you can look at and see what looks appealing to you.
This might not apply if you are mainly reading textbooks or something more information-dense. But most popular nonfiction books are pretty fluffy and can really be cut down if you aren't reading for enjoyment.
