Formula and method

Reading minutes per day multiplied by pages per minute gives daily pages. Dividing those pages by pages per book estimates how many books that schedule can cover.

Pages read per day = reading minutes per day × pages per minute; books read = pages read ÷ pages per book, scaled to the selected period.
