Morphology
The meaning 'a book or text that is easy and fast to read' is directly built from 'quick' (done in a short time) modifying 'read' (a reading/text), so a learner who knows both words can infer it easily. The adjective+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and therefore readily comprehensible to a B1 learner without prior exposure.
Etymology
Quick read comes from the simple picture of a short story or article you can finish in one coffee break or on a short train ride; the idea of reading it quickly is the whole point. That's why it means 'a book or text that is easy and fast to read'.
