Progress from your reader
Completion percentage is calculated from the current page and total page value you provide. If your reading app shows a different total from the initial estimate, you can replace it.

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 tracker turns a simple page position into a clearer picture of progress. After a book is selected, the current page, total shown by the reader and daily target are used to calculate completion, remaining pages and an estimated number of reading days.
Progress stays in local browser storage, which keeps the first version account-free. The book record is still used to provide a starting page estimate and source reading-time figure when those measurements are available.
Time remaining is proportional
When source reading-time data exists, the remaining-time estimate is scaled to the unfinished portion of the book rather than promising a fixed personal reading speed.
Daily goals stay practical
A daily page target converts the remaining page count into an approximate number of days. Session history records page changes so recent progress can be reviewed without creating an account.
Pacing Your Reading with the Tracker
The Reading Tracker is built around pages, not minutes or sections. It records your current page, the total pages in the book, and a daily page goal. The default goal is 20 pages per day, but you can adjust it to match your schedule. Progress is stored in your browser, so no account is needed.
Because the catalog does not always include a fixed page count, the tracker estimates pages by dividing the word count by 250 words per page. For a book like "Asteroid H277—Plus — Context and Discussion" (id 291), which has 7,557 words, that gives an initial estimate of about 30 pages. You can replace that estimate with the page count from your own reading app or edition.
Setting a Daily Goal
The daily page goal is the main lever you control. The default is 20 pages, which for a 30-page book means finishing in two days. If you have less time, you might set a goal of 10 pages and spread the book over three days. The tracker calculates estimated finish days as the remaining pages divided by your daily goal, rounded up. For "Asteroid H277—Plus," if you read 10 pages a day, you will finish in 3 days. At 20 pages a day, you finish in 2 days.
The goal is not a commitment; it is a planning tool. You can change it at any time. The tracker also shows estimated remaining time, which is proportional to the total estimated reading time. For "Asteroid H277—Plus," the estimated reading time is 33 minutes. If you have read 10 of 30 pages, the remaining time is about 22 minutes.
Adjusting the Page Count
The initial page estimate is based on 250 words per page, but that may not match your edition. If your reading app shows 25 pages for a 7,557-word book, you can enter 25 as the total. The tracker then uses that number for all calculations. This is especially useful for books with illustrations or wide margins, which can change the page count significantly.
The tracker does not record sections or minutes as progress. It only tracks pages. This means that a book with two text sections, like "Silence is—Deadly — Story, Setting & Ideas" (id 290), is not broken into parts in the tracker. You simply move from page 1 to the end. Some readers prefer this simplicity; others might want to note section breaks in their own reading notes.
Using the Tracker with the Catalog
The tracker works best when you pair it with the other tools. Use Book Finder to choose a book that fits your available time, then set a daily goal that matches that time. For a short book like "Asteroid H277—Plus," a single evening is enough. For a longer one like "The Soul Eaters — Reading Notes" (id 302) at 17,247 words, the tracker can help you spread the reading over several days.
Because the catalog's median reading time is 38 minutes, most books can be finished in one sitting if you have the time. The tracker is most useful for the longer titles, such as "Venus Enslaved — Inside the Classic" (id 297) at 20,215 words and 88 minutes. With a 20-page daily goal, that book would take about 4 days. The tracker keeps you on pace without requiring you to think about word counts or minutes.
