Time to Read

Your Kindle Voyage 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.

Your specific reading speed is stored only on your Kindle; it is not stored on Amazon

servers.

When reading, select Reading Progress from the menu, then choose the option you want to

display at the bottom of the page when you read. Options may include:

 Location in book

 Page in book

 Time left in chapter

 Time left in book

 None
