​​📖 How Long to Read

Imagine a situation: you bought a book, but you don't know how long you will read it. Maybe reading the book will take only a few hours, maybe even days? Today we have a cool resource that will answer your question.

How Long to Read is a book search engine that helps you find out how long it will take to read books and provide reading time data that is tailored to you.

The service assumed a speed of 300 WPM for this calculation but you can complete a reading speed test to calculate using your own reading speed.

Sounds like magic, doesn't it?
