The best way is with 2 chess boards, one for the main line and one for variations.

Create a study and play out the positions. That way you can easily move between the main variation and others. You need to understand the author's comments as well as the engine evaluations. It's not a novel you read quickly from start to finish.

I suspect that the real problem is your choice of what to read. I suggest going for pages 1-212 of Silman’s Complete Endgame Course.
