Reading Calculators & Planners
Free tools for the numbers behind reading — reading time and speed, a books-per-year goal, your TBR backlog, audiobook length, and book-club pacing.
Reading Time Calculator
Turn a book's word or page count and your reading speed into an estimated reading time — with reference times at a slow, average, and fast pace
Reading Speed Test
Time yourself over a passage to get your words-per-minute, an hourly rate, a named level, and a comprehension-adjusted effective speed
Books-Per-Year Goal Planner
Set a yearly reading target and see the daily habit behind it — pages per day, minutes per day, days per book, and books per month
TBR Backlog Estimator
See how long it takes to clear your to-be-read pile from its size, average book length, and pace — and whether new books arrive faster than you finish
Page-to-Audiobook Time Calculator
Convert a page count into an audiobook runtime at a chosen narration rate, and see how much shorter it gets at 1.5× or 2× speed
Book-Club Pace Planner
Plan a group read either way — a deadline in weeks to get pages per session, or a per-session load to see how many meetings the book takes
Museum of Books & Reading
Step into an illustrated museum of the book — the forms it has taken from scroll and codex to paperback and e-book, the printing revolution that put it in every hand, the great libraries that gathered and guarded it, and the authors and landmark works that shaped literature, each in its own gallery. Get to know the long story of the written word.
