How the progress estimate works
The Reading tool gives you a realistic estimate of how long it will take to read a book from this catalog. Estimates are based on the book's word count and an average reading speed of about 230 words per minute.
The catalog includes books ranging from 11,219 words (49 minutes) to 210,452 words (916 minutes). Use the tool to plan your reading sessions and select titles that fit your available time.
Steady Reads
For a few hours of reading, choose titles like 'Jurgen and the law' (82 minutes) or 'Facing the chair' (206 minutes).
Marathon Reads
For immersive experiences, pick longer works such as 'International Law' (916 minutes) or 'Trial of William Palmer' (723 minutes).
Planning Your Progress: Pages, Goals, and Estimates
Reading Tracker helps you turn a chosen book into a concrete plan. It records progress in pages, not minutes or sections, and it uses a daily page goal to estimate when you will finish. The tracker does not require an account; it saves your history in the browser's local storage, so you can pick up where you left off on the same device.
The catalog provides word counts and estimated reading times for each book, but the tracker works in pages. If a fixed catalog page count is unavailable, it estimates the total pages by dividing the word count by 250. You can override that estimate with the page count shown by your own reading app or edition.
Setting a daily goal that fits your schedule
The default daily goal is 20 pages. For a book like "The Story of Elizabeth Canning Considered — Text and Context," which has about 13,500 words, the estimated page count is about 54 pages (13,549 / 250 ≈ 54). At 20 pages per day, you would finish in about 3 days (ceil(54 / 20) = 3). That is a manageable commitment for a weekend.
If you have less time, you can lower the goal to, say, 10 pages per day, which would extend the plan to 6 days. If you are in a hurry, you could raise it to 30 pages per day and finish in 2 days. The tracker recalculates the estimated finish date each time you adjust the goal.
The tracker also shows the estimated remaining time in minutes, based on the catalog's estimated reading time. For "The Story of Elizabeth Canning Considered — Text and Context," the estimated reading time is 59 minutes. If you have read 27 of 54 pages, the remaining time would be about 59 × (27 / 54) ≈ 30 minutes. That can help you decide whether to read a little more today or save it for tomorrow.
Using your own edition's page count
The tracker's page estimate is based on 250 words per page, which is a common convention but may not match your edition. If you are reading a print book or a different digital format, you can enter the total page count from that edition. This makes the tracker more accurate for your actual reading.
For example, if you are reading "The Story of Elizabeth Canning Considered — Text and Context" in a paperback with 80 pages, you can set the total to 80. Then, if you have read 40 pages, the tracker will show you are halfway through, and the estimated remaining time will be proportional to that fraction.
The tracker's progress is stored in your browser, so you do not need to create an account. That simplicity means you can use it for any book in the catalog, For readers who are reading a short text like "The Story of Elizabeth Canning Considered — Text and Context" or a longer work such as "International Law. A Treatise. Volume 1 (of 2) Peace. Second Edition — A Reader’s Guide." The same page-based logic works for both.
