Couple of issues related to progress measurement throughout the book.

First off, love the app, it’s really increased the amount of reading I’m doing.

Right now I’m reading an epub which is divided into 8 parts, but the first six are tiny e.g. acknowledgements. Parts 7 and 8 are about 4 hours each and contain all the substance of the book.

When I’m in Part 7, the Library page on the Android app reports that I’m 88% of the way through, and this number doesn’t change for the entirety of the time I’m reading through Part 7. Obviously it’s just calculating 7/8=87.5% and rounding up to 88%. It’s strange that even with four hours of reading that number doesn’t budge!

Related to that on the Library page, it reports the time remaining as about 4 hours, which again doesn’t move at all as I read through Part 7 for hours. Again it looks as if it’s calculated off the time for each Part, but not updated for the time that’s spent within a Part.

As I really like to know how much longer I’ve got to go through a book, that’s quite frustrating! Would it be possible to calculate based off words covered so far divided by total word count?
