Did you know that there’s a way to determine how long it will take you to finish a chapter or a book on Kindle? It’s called “Kindle Time to Read,” and it’s one of the many helpful Kindle reading stats that Amazon offers. Amazon’s Kindle Time to Read feature helps you estimate how long it will take to finish a chapter or a book. This feature considers the length of the chapters and the number of words per page to estimate reading time accordingly. Let’s look at where you can find Kindle Time to Read and how you can use it.
How to Find Kindle Time to Read
To view your Kindle Time to Read stats, open your Kindle book and go to the bottom of the screen. You’ll see a timer that tells you how long it will take you to read the chapter you’re on and how much time is left in the chapter. This timer is based on your reading speed, so it will change if you change your reading settings.
If you want to know how long it will take you to finish the book, tap on the percentage of the book read. You’ll see a timer that tells you how long it will take to complete the book at your current kindle reading speed. The Kindle reading timer is a nice addition to the Kindle clock, which shows you the current time.
