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 counts at an average pace. They give you a realistic idea of how long a book might take, not a promise.
The catalog includes a range from quick reads under 100 minutes to epics over 1,000 minutes. Use the filters to find a book that fits your schedule.
Immersive Titles
41 books fall in the immersive range, roughly 3 to 7 hours. These offer substantial reading without a marathon.
Marathon Epics
37 books exceed 7 hours. 'The Forsyte Saga' is about 1,441 minutes, while 'Heartsease' is 1,055.
Planning Your Progress, Page by Page
The Reading Tracker is built around a simple idea: progress is measured in pages, not minutes or sections. When you start a book, the tracker shows a current page, a total page count, and a daily page goal. If the catalog does not provide a fixed page count, it estimates the total using a default of 250 words per page, but you can replace that with the page count from your own reading app or edition. This flexibility is important because pagination varies widely between editions.
For example, Huntingtower — Edition Insights has an estimated reading time of 364 minutes and 83,714 words. At 250 words per page, that works out to roughly 335 pages. If you set a daily goal of 20 pages, the tracker would estimate about 17 days to finish. But if you are reading a paperback with 400 pages, you can adjust the total to match, and the tracker will recalculate your remaining time and finish date accordingly.
Setting a Realistic Daily Goal
The default daily goal is 20 pages, but that is only a starting point. The tracker lets you set your own goal, and the estimated finish days are calculated as the ceiling of remaining pages divided by your daily goal. If you know you have a busy week, you might set a lower goal and accept a longer finish date; if you have a vacation coming up, you might raise it. The point is to make a plan that fits your life, not to adhere to a rigid standard.
For Huntingtower — Edition Insights, with an estimated 335 pages, a 20-page goal means about 17 days, but a 30-page goal would cut that to 12 days. The tracker makes these trade-offs visible, so you can decide how much to read each day based on your schedule.
Adjusting for Your Edition
Because the tracker's page estimate is based on a generic 250-word page, it may not match the edition you are actually reading. A large-print edition might have fewer words per page, while a dense paperback might have more. The tracker allows you to replace the total page count with the one from your own edition, which ensures that your progress is accurate. This is particularly useful for older books that may have been re-typeset with different pagination.
For example, if you are reading Huntingtower — Edition Insights in an edition with 400 pages, you would update the total, and the tracker would use that number to calculate your remaining time. The estimated remaining time is proportional: it takes the estimated reading minutes and multiplies by the fraction of pages remaining. So if you are halfway through a 400-page edition, the tracker would estimate you have about 182 minutes left, based on the original 364-minute estimate.
Tracking Without an Account
The Reading Tracker stores your progress history in your browser's localStorage, so you do not need an account. This means your data stays on your device, and you can pick up where you left off as long as you use the same browser. It is a lightweight way to keep a reading log without any setup. The tracker's focus is on pages, so it does not record sections or minutes as progress — only the page you are on and the pages you have completed.
For a book like Huntingtower — Edition Insights, which has 8 text sections, the tracker's page-based approach is straightforward: you simply update your current page as you read. The daily goal and estimated finish date give you a gentle structure, but the tracker does not force a pace. It is there to help you plan, not to judge.
