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
Reading time estimates are based on word count and an average pace of about 230 words per minute. The median book in this catalog is roughly 57,571 words, which translates to about 251 minutes of reading.
These are approximations, not promises. Your own pace will vary, but the tool gives a consistent baseline to plan your reading.
Time Buckets
Estimated reading times are also grouped into quick (under 2 hours), steady (2-4 hours), immersive (4-8 hours), and marathon (over 8 hours). The largest group is immersive, with 40 books.
Example Estimates
For instance, The Confession of a Child of the Century (Vol. 2) is about 31,622 words and 138 minutes. Gargantua and Pantagruel (complete) is roughly 328,773 words and 1,430 minutes.
Making progress with the Reading Tracker
The Reading Tracker turns a chosen book into a daily plan. It records progress in pages, not sections or minutes, so you measure what you actually read. You set a daily page goal — the interface defaults to 20 pages — and the tracker estimates how many days remain based on the book's total pages. If a fixed catalog page count is unavailable, the initial estimate is calculated by dividing the word count by 250 words per page. You can replace that total with the page count from your own reading app or edition, and the tracker will adjust accordingly.
Start with a realistic daily goal
The default daily goal is 20 pages, which works well for many readers. For a book like The silver dial, volume 3 (of 3) — Themes and Context, with about 81,994 words, the initial page estimate is roughly 328 pages (81,994 divided by 250). At 20 pages a day, that suggests about 17 days of reading. If you prefer a slower pace, you might set 10 pages a day, which would take about 33 days; a faster pace of 30 pages a day would finish in about 11 days. The tracker lets you choose what fits your schedule.
The estimate is based on the page count, so if you change the total pages to match your edition, the remaining time and finish date update automatically. This flexibility is useful because different editions have different page counts. The tracker's estimate is a guide, not a contract — you can adjust the goal at any time.
Track progress page by page
Progress is recorded in pages, with a current page and a total page count. You update the current page as you read, and the tracker shows how far you have come. This simple measure works for any book, regardless of its internal structure. You do not need to track sections or minutes — just pages.
The estimated remaining time is proportional: it multiplies the estimated reading minutes by the ratio of remaining pages to total pages. So if you are halfway through a book, you have roughly half the estimated time left. The estimated finish days are calculated by dividing remaining pages by your daily goal, rounding up to the nearest whole day.
For The silver dial, volume 3 (of 3), if you have read 100 pages of 328, you have 228 pages left. At 20 pages a day, that is about 12 more days. The tracker makes this calculation for you, so you always know where you stand.
No account needed, just your browser
Progress history is stored in your browser's localStorage, so no account is required. This means your data stays on your device, and you can use the tracker without creating a profile. The trade-off is that your progress is tied to that specific browser — if you switch devices or clear your browser data, the history may be lost.
For a long book like The silver dial, volume 3 (of 3), having a persistent record of your progress can be motivating. You can see how many pages you have read and how many remain, which helps maintain momentum. The tracker is a simple tool, but it is designed to support sustainable reading habits.
If you prefer to track in minutes or sections, the tracker is not for you — it is strictly page-based. But for most readers, pages are a natural unit of progress. Set a goal, update your current page, and let the tracker show you the path to the final page.
