How the progress estimate works
Reading time estimates are based on the median reading speed of 230 words per minute. Use these to plan your reading sessions.
The archive has a range of lengths: 23 short, 24 medium, 20 long, and 30 epic works. Choose what fits your schedule.
Steady & Immersive
25 works are 'steady' (200-400 min) and 25 'immersive' (400-600 min). Good for deeper engagement.
Marathon Texts
27 works exceed 600 minutes, such as 'Unspoken Sermons' at 783 minutes. Plan for extended reading.
Planning Your Progress Page by Page
The Reading Tracker is built around a simple idea: you make progress one page at a time. It records your current page, the total pages, and a daily page goal. From those three numbers, it calculates how much time remains and when you might finish. It does not track sections or minutes read; it tracks pages.
That focus on pages makes the tracker flexible. You can use it with any book, whether it is a 7,020-word pamphlet or a 283,727-word systematics. For a book like The Two Treaties; or, Hope for Jerusalem — Inside the Classic (id 291), which is only 7,020 words, the page estimate will be small. For a longer work, the tracker helps you break a large project into daily steps.
How the Page Estimate Works
When a fixed catalog page count is not available, the tracker estimates total pages by dividing the word count by 250 words per page. That is a standard assumption, but you are not stuck with it. If your edition has a different page count, you can replace the estimate with the total shown by your own reading app or physical book.
For example, The Two Treaties; or, Hope for Jerusalem — Inside the Classic (id 291) has 7,020 words. At 250 words per page, that is about 28 pages. If you set a daily goal of 20 pages, you could finish in two days. But if your edition has larger pages, you might have fewer pages, and the tracker will adjust your remaining time accordingly.
The tracker also calculates estimated remaining time proportionally. It uses the formula: estimated minutes × remaining pages / total pages. So if you have read half of a book, the remaining time is half of the original estimate. This keeps your plan realistic as you go.
Setting a Daily Goal and Tracking Progress
The default daily goal is 20 pages, but you can change it to match your reading habits. A higher goal means you will finish sooner, but it also demands more time each day. A lower goal spreads the reading out. The tracker shows estimated finish days as the ceiling of remaining pages divided by your daily goal.
For a longer book, such as The works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 11 (of 32) — Reading Companion (id 304) at 90,958 words, the initial page estimate would be about 364 pages. At 20 pages a day, that is 19 days. At 30 pages a day, it is 13 days. The choice is yours, and the tracker makes the trade-off visible.
Your progress history is stored in the browser’s localStorage, so you do not need an account. That means your data stays on your device, and you can pick up where you left off without logging in. It also means that clearing your browser data will erase your history, so you might want to keep that in mind.
