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 planner turns word counts into honest time estimates. The catalog's median word count is 52,160 (about 227 minutes), but individual titles vary widely.
Use the length and time categories—short to epic, quick to marathon—to find a book that fits your schedule.
Time Categories
Quick (under 1 hour): 14. Steady (1-3 hours): 33. Immersive (3-6 hours): 37. Marathon (6+ hours): 8.
Median Estimates
Half the books are shorter than 52,160 words, half longer. A typical read takes about 227 minutes.
Using the Reading Tracker for Sustainable Progress
The Reading Tracker is a simple tool for managing your reading by pages. It records your current page, total pages, and a daily page goal. It does not track sections or minutes as progress; it is strictly about pages. This focus helps you build a consistent habit without worrying about how long a chapter takes.
Setting Your Daily Goal
The default daily goal is 20 pages. That is a reasonable starting point for many readers, but you can adjust it to fit your schedule. If you have more time on weekends, you might set a higher goal for those days, or you might prefer a steady 10 pages every day. The tracker uses whatever goal you set to estimate how many days it will take to finish.
For a book like The Collected Writings of Dougal Graham, "Skellat" Bellman of Glasgow, Vol. 1 of 2 — A Reader’s Guide (id 230), which has 76,099 words, the estimated page count would be about 305 pages (76,099 divided by 250). At 20 pages a day, that is about 16 days. If you set a goal of 30 pages, it would take about 11 days.
The tracker also estimates remaining time based on your current page. If you are on page 100 of 305, and you have read for 10 days, it will show how many more days you need at your current pace.
Adjusting the Page Count
The catalog may not always have a fixed page count for every book. In that case, the tracker uses an estimate based on 250 words per page. This is a standard assumption, but it may not match your edition. If you are reading an ebook or a print edition with different pagination, you can replace the total page count with the number shown by your reading app or edition.
For example, if your edition of Dougal Graham has 320 pages instead of 305, you can enter 320. The tracker will then use that number for all calculations. This ensures that your progress is accurate for the edition you are holding.
It is also possible that the catalog provides a page count for some books. If it does, that number will be used automatically. But you can always override it if your edition differs.
Tracking Progress Over Time
The Reading Tracker stores your progress history in your browser's localStorage. This means you do not need an account, and your data stays on your device. You can close the page and come back later; your current page and goal will be saved.
This is useful for long books that you might read over several weeks. You can check in each day, update your page, and see how your estimated finish date changes. It is a simple way to stay motivated.
Remember, the tracker does not measure time spent reading or sections completed. It is purely page-based. If you find that you are consistently falling short of your goal, you can adjust it downward. The point is to make steady, sustainable progress, not to rush.
