How the progress estimate works
The Reading Time tool estimates how long it will take you to finish a book. It uses the book's word count and your personal reading speed. The default estimate is based on the median reading speed of 230 words per minute, but you can adjust it to match your own pace.
This library has a median book length of 46,556 words, which takes about 203 minutes at the default speed. However, books vary widely: some are as short as a 30-minute read, while others may take over 400 minutes.
Steady Reads
43 books fall into the steady category, offering a moderate commitment of around 2-4 hours.
Immersive Reads
23 books are immersive, requiring over 4 hours. These are longer novels that you can savor over several days.
Pacing Your Reading with Pages
The Reading Tracker helps you plan your progress through a book by recording pages read, total pages, and a daily page goal. It does not track minutes or sections; it is built around pages. This is a simple, consistent unit that works across the catalog, even though books vary widely in length and structure.
When you start a book, the Tracker estimates the total page count by dividing the word count by 250 words per page. For example, Little By Little; or, The Cruise of the Flyaway — A Reader’s Guide (id 292) has 48,693 words, so the initial estimate is about 195 pages (48,693 / 250 ≈ 195). You can replace that estimate with the total page count from your own reading app or edition, if you prefer.
Set a Daily Goal That Fits Your Schedule
The default daily goal is 20 pages, but you can adjust it. The Tracker uses your goal to estimate how many days it will take to finish the book. For a 195-page book like Little By Little, a 20-page daily goal means about 10 days (195 / 20 = 9.75, rounded up to 10). If you can only read 10 pages a day, the estimate becomes 20 days.
A useful approach is to set a goal that is realistic for your routine. The Tracker does not judge; it simply calculates. If you miss a day, you can update your current page and the estimate adjusts. This makes it easy to see how a small change in daily pages affects your finish date.
Use the Page Estimate as a Starting Point
The initial page estimate is based on the catalog’s word count and a standard 250 words per page. This is a useful approximation, but your actual edition may have different pagination. If your reading app shows a different total, you can enter it, and the Tracker will recalculate the remaining time and finish date.
For example, if your edition of Little By Little has 200 pages instead of 195, the remaining time estimate will be slightly longer. The Tracker uses the formula: estimated minutes × remaining pages / total pages. So if you are on page 50 of 200, the estimated remaining time is 212 minutes × 150 / 200 = 159 minutes. This gives you a concrete sense of how much time is left.
Progress History Keeps You Accountable
The Tracker stores your progress history in your browser’s localStorage, so you can see how much you have read over time without needing an account. This can be motivating, as it shows your cumulative progress.
It is worth noting that the Tracker does not record sections or minutes as progress. If you read a chapter that happens to be 15 pages, you update your current page by 15. This simplicity means you do not have to think about anything other than pages. For a catalog where text sections vary from 1 to 19, pages are a more consistent measure of progress.
