If the EPUB has no fixed print pagination, the tool starts with an estimated page count and lets you replace it with the page total shown by your own reader.

How the progress estimate works
The Reading Time tool gives you a practical estimate of how long it will take to read a book from this catalog. The estimate is based on the book's word count and an average reading speed of about 230 words per minute. This can help you plan your reading, whether you have an hour free or are looking for a longer project.
The catalog also groups books into four length categories: short, medium, long, and epic. These categories are based on word count, not on difficulty or quality. Use them to quickly find a book that fits the time you have available.
Steady Reads
21 books fall into the 'steady' category, taking about two to four hours. These are suitable for a few sittings.
Immersive and Marathon
30 immersive books take four to eight hours, and 14 marathon books exceed eight hours. These are substantial works for extended study.
Planning a Page-Based Pace
The Reading Tracker records progress in pages, not minutes or sections. You set a current page, a total page count, and a daily page goal. The tracker then estimates remaining time and finish date. If the catalog does not provide a fixed page count, it estimates the total as ceil(word_count / 250), using a configured 250 words per page. You can replace that estimate with the total from your own reading app or edition.
Progress history is stored in your browser's localStorage, so no account is required. The default daily goal is 20 pages, but you can adjust it to fit your schedule. The tracker is a planning tool, not a judgment on how fast you should read.
Estimating pages from word count
For a book without a fixed page count, the tracker uses a simple formula: divide the word count by 250 and round up. For The works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 09 (of 32) — Inside the Classic (id 304), which has 85,568 words, that gives an initial estimate of about 343 pages. If your edition shows a different total, you can enter that instead.
The estimated remaining time is proportional: estimated_minutes × remaining_pages / total_pages. So if you have read 100 pages of the Wesley volume, the remaining time is roughly 373 minutes × (243/343), or about 264 minutes. That is a rough guide, not a promise.
The finish date is calculated as ceil(remaining_pages / daily_page_goal). At the default 20 pages per day, finishing the Wesley volume from page 100 would take about 13 days. Adjusting the goal to 30 pages shortens that to about 9 days, but the tracker does not push you either way.
Using the tracker for a realistic plan
The tracker works best when you set a daily goal you can actually keep. A 20-page goal might be easy for a short book like The Personal Touch, which has about 116 pages, but it would take 18 days for a 343-page volume like the Wesley book. That is not a problem — it is a planning fact.
You can also use the tracker to compare different books before you start. If you are deciding between a 116-page book and a 343-page one, the tracker shows the total page count and the estimated finish date at your current pace. That information can help you choose a book that fits your available time.
Because the tracker stores history in your browser, you can return to it over days or weeks without losing your place. The page count is the only measure of progress, so you do not need to track minutes or sections. That simplicity keeps the focus on the actual reading.
