FAQ

How do I find my reading speed?
Read a passage of known word count and time yourself. Divide the word count by minutes elapsed to get your WPM rate. Online reading speed tests can also help benchmark your speed.
How many pages per day do I need to read 52 books in a year?
At an average of 320 pages per book and 52 books per year, you need to read approximately 46 pages daily โ€” roughly 30โ€“40 minutes of reading at average speed.
Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?
Kindle Unlimited costs around $9.99/month. If you read more than 2 books per month (at ~$5 average retail), the subscription pays for itself. Heavy readers of 4+ books per month save significantly.
