How the progress estimate works
The Reading Time tool gives you an honest estimate of how long it will take to read a book. We use the median reading speed from the catalog to convert word counts into minutes. Your own pace may vary.
Books are grouped into four time categories: quick (under 1 hour), steady (1-2 hours), immersive (2-4 hours), and marathon (over 4 hours). Use these to plan your reading sessions.
Steady
15 books that take about one to two hours. Good for an evening read.
Immersive
27 books that require two to four hours. Plan for a dedicated sitting or two.
Marathon
28 books that take more than four hours. These are substantial works for deep study.
Planning a Pace for Episcopal Fidelity
The Reading Tracker treats each book as a set of pages rather than a set of chapters or sections. That distinction matters in a catalog where a single sermon might occupy one page and a multi-volume theological work might stretch past a thousand. For a title like "Episcopal Fidelity — Edition Insights," the tracker’s page-based approach gives you a concrete way to turn an estimated reading time into a daily habit.
Because the catalog does not always include a fixed page count, the tracker starts with an estimate based on 250 words per page. You can replace that estimate with the total shown by your own reading app or edition, which is useful when the pagination of a scanned original differs from a modern reprint.
Setting a Realistic Daily Goal
The tracker records progress in pages, with current page, total pages, and a daily page goal. The default daily goal displayed by the interface is 20 pages, but that number is only a starting point. For a book like "Episcopal Fidelity — Edition Insights," which is roughly 7,809 words, the initial page estimate would be about 32 pages (7,809 divided by 250). At 20 pages per day, you would finish in about two days, but you might prefer a slower pace that lets you linger over the sermon’s biblical references.
The estimated finish days are calculated as the ceiling of remaining pages divided by your daily goal. If you set a goal of 10 pages per day for that 32-page estimate, you would finish in four days. If you choose 5 pages per day, the estimate stretches to seven days. The tracker does not judge which pace is better; it simply helps you see the trade-off between daily effort and completion time.
Progress history is stored in your browser’s localStorage, so no account is required. That means your page count and daily goal persist between visits, but they are tied to the browser you use. If you switch devices or clear your browser data, the tracker starts fresh.
Adjusting the Total Page Count
The tracker’s estimated remaining time is proportional: it multiplies the estimated reading minutes by the ratio of remaining pages to total pages. If you replace the total page count with a number from your own edition, the estimate updates accordingly. For "Episcopal Fidelity — Edition Insights," the catalog lists an estimated reading time of 34 minutes. If your edition has 40 pages and you have read 10, the tracker would estimate about 25.5 minutes remaining (34 × 30 / 40).
This flexibility is especially useful for books that originally appeared as pamphlets or single sermons, where page counts vary widely between printings. The catalog’s word count and estimated minutes give you a baseline, but your actual edition may have larger or smaller pages, or additional front matter that shifts the total.
A page-based plan works best when you update it regularly. Because the tracker does not record sections or minutes as progress, you need to note your current page each time you read. That small habit turns an abstract reading time into a measurable daily step, and it lets you adjust your goal if life interrupts the plan.
