Unhappy Reading Life Reading Stats inaccuracy

So I always was suspicious of the "Minutes each session" when reading an epub and going in to the Reading Stats after reading...BUT I knew that I often opened a book and then reclosed it right away and figured that that might be messing with this stat. Mostly they were saying between 10-15 mins...and I thought I read more than that on average.

Then recently I've not been doing any short sessions, so I figured the number should be much higher...but it only made it up to 23 mins.

So when I loaded a new book the other day, I didn't open it to make sure it had copied properly (it was a library book with DRM...which I have sometimes had issues with), but first opened it when I intended to have a long-ish reading session.

Before opening, I checked the stats...all zeros as expected.

After one reading session:
25 mins each session
0.8 hours read (which works out to 48 mins)

So with having only ever opened the book once, how exactly does it figure I read only 25 mins per session?

Not that important an issue I realise...but I'm trying to keep track of my reading habits since I read fairly slowly and would like to see how fast I can read effectively.

Anyway, curious if anyone has an idea about this. I'll report back when I've had my evening read and see if that ups the time significantly.
