This is all the Paperwhite does. It does not store the total time spent reading. You will have to keep track of this yourself.

You could submit a request to Amazon, to see if they implement it into their firmware, and then keep track of it per day, week, and month... and show it in a nice graph trough a menu option.
This is all fine and dandy, but for those of us who read mostly nonfiction-- History in particular-- sometimes a good 30% of a book covers end-notes and indexes, ect. For these types of books, such calculations are useless.

Myself, I never pay attention to time left. I'd like to see a regular timer on the Kindle, with the ability to reset at will.

It's a wonder after all these years that such a feature has not yet been implemented. My guess is that a lot of people would like to have a timer.
