Estimated minutes
Each book shows an estimated reading time in minutes. This is calculated from the word count, assuming an average reading speed.

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
Reading time estimates are based on word count and an average reading speed. They give you a rough idea of how long a book might take, but your own pace may vary.
Use these estimates to plan your reading sessions. Whether you have an hour or a weekend, you can find a book that fits.
Length categories
Books are grouped into short, medium, long, and epic based on word count. This helps you quickly see the size of the work.
Time categories
Quick, steady, immersive, and marathon give a sense of the commitment required. Choose based on how much time you have.
Sustainable Progress, One Page at a Time
The Reading Tracker at EOMMI is a simple tool: it records your current page, total pages, and a daily page goal. It does not track minutes, sections, or any other unit—only pages. This focus keeps the process straightforward. You decide how many pages you want to read each day, and the tracker shows you how many days remain.
For a book like "Aspects of Jewish power in the United States — Text and Context" (id 304), the catalog lists 82,208 words. Since the catalog does not provide a fixed page count, the tracker estimates one by dividing the word count by 250, giving about 329 pages. If you set a daily goal of 20 pages, the tracker will estimate that you will finish in about 17 days. You can adjust the goal or the total pages to match your own edition.
Setting a Realistic Daily Goal
The default daily goal is 20 pages, which is a reasonable starting point for many readers. But you can set it higher or lower. If you have more time on weekends, you might set a higher goal for those days. The tracker does not enforce a schedule; it simply calculates the estimated finish date based on your goal. For a longer book, like "The Complete Essays of Charles Dudley Warner" (id 221) at 220,955 words (about 884 pages), a 20-page goal would take 45 days. If that feels too long, you can increase the goal to 30 pages and finish in about 30 days.
A useful approach is to choose a goal you can sustain. A goal that is too ambitious might lead to skipping days, which can derail your progress. A modest goal that you meet consistently is more effective in the long run.
Adjusting the Total Pages
The tracker's initial page estimate is based on 250 words per page, but your own edition might have different pagination. If you are reading an ebook with a different layout, or a print edition with larger margins, you can replace the total page count with the number shown by your reading app or the book itself. This ensures that your progress percentage and estimated finish date are accurate.
For example, if you are reading "Aspects of Jewish power in the United States" and your ebook says it has 350 pages, you can enter 350 as the total. The tracker will then use that number to calculate your progress. The estimated remaining time is proportional: it takes the original estimated reading minutes (358) and multiplies by the fraction of pages remaining. So if you are on page 100 of 350, you have 250 pages left, and the estimated time is 358 × (250/350) ≈ 256 minutes. This way, the tracker adapts to your actual edition.
Progress History and No Account Needed
The Reading Tracker stores your progress history in your browser's localStorage. This means you do not need to create an account or log in. Your data stays on your own device. If you clear your browser's data, your progress will be lost, so it is a good idea to note your current page elsewhere if you switch devices. The tracker is designed to be a low-friction way to keep yourself on track, not a complex social platform.
For readers who are reading a short essay or a multi-volume work, the tracker helps you see the finish line. For a book like "Aspects of Jewish power in the United States," knowing that you need to read about 17 pages a day to finish in three weeks can make the task feel manageable. The tracker turns a vague intention into a concrete plan.
