How the progress estimate works
Reading time estimates are based solely on word count and an assumed reading speed of about 230 words per minute. They are approximations; your actual time will vary with your pace and familiarity with the subject.
The catalog includes works of varying lengths, from short pamphlets to multi-volume treatises. Use the reading tool to plan your sessions or to choose a book that fits your available time.
Steady Reads
22 works fall between one and two hours. Suitable for an evening or a focused afternoon.
Immersive Reads
25 books require two to three hours. Plan for a longer session or split across a few days.
Marathon Reads
20 titles exceed three hours. These are substantial works for dedicated readers.
Reading Tracker: Planning a Sustainable Pace
Reading Tracker is a simple tool that records progress in pages, with a current page, total pages, and a daily page goal. It does not track sections or minutes as progress; it is based entirely on pages. The initial total page count is estimated from the word count, using a default of 250 words per page, but you can replace it with the total shown by your own edition. This flexibility is key, because page counts can vary between editions.
The tool also calculates estimated remaining time and finish date based on your daily goal. These estimates are proportional, so they adapt as you update your progress. The tracker stores your history in your browser's localStorage, so no account is needed. This makes it a low-friction way to keep a reading project on track.
Setting a realistic daily page goal
The default daily goal is 20 pages, but you can adjust it to fit your schedule. A useful approach is to choose a number you can sustain. For a book like Etiquette — Edition Insights, which has 208,429 words and an estimated 834 pages at 250 words per page, a 20-page daily goal would mean about 42 days of reading. If you have more time, a 30-page goal would finish it in about 28 days. The tool makes these trade-offs visible.
Keep in mind that the page count is an estimate. If your edition has different pagination, you can enter the actual total pages from your reading app or printed copy. This ensures that the remaining pages and finish date are accurate for your specific edition. The tracker is designed to work with the book you actually have, not just the catalog's default.
The estimated remaining time is proportional: it takes the original estimated reading minutes and scales them by the fraction of pages remaining. This means if you have read half the pages, the estimated time remaining is half the original estimate. This is a rough guide, but it can help you plan your weeks.
Using the tracker to maintain momentum
A daily page goal turns a large book into a series of manageable steps. For a lengthy work like Etiquette, which has thirty text sections, you might align your daily goal with natural breaks. The tracker does not track sections, but it does let you see how many pages you need to read each day to finish by a certain date. This can be motivating, especially for books that feel daunting.
Because progress is stored in your browser, you can close the page and return later without losing your place. The tracker does not require an account, so it is private and simple. You can update your current page as you read, and the remaining time and finish date will recalculate automatically.
The tracker is a planning tool, not a judgment. It does not tell you how fast you should read or For readers who are on pace. It simply provides a structure. Whether you prefer a steady 20 pages a day or a more intensive push, the tracker adapts to your goal. This makes it a useful companion for any book in the catalog, from a short pamphlet to an epic treatise.
