Time to Read
Your Kindle includes Time to Read, a feature that helps you know how long it will take to
finish a chapter or book. You can customise this feature to display location numbers, time
left in chapter, time left in book, percentage of content read or actual page numbers. (Not
all Kindle books include page numbers.)
As Kindle books can be read on devices with different screen sizes, locations identify
specific places in a book, just like a page number would for a print book. Location numbers
allow you to direct a friend to the exact same place in a Kindle book you are reading. Many
Kindle books also contain page numbers that correspond to the real page numbers in an
actual print book.
The Time to Read feature uses a unique algorithm to estimate the amount of time it will
take you to complete the chapter or book based on your past and current reading speed.
