So neither choice is good to me.
As for the reading stats? You can get the number of books and hours read regardless of the type of book. The same reading stats screen will show the current book's progress and current chapter progress. It will not show you how to long it will take to finish the current chapter which in my opinion is a useless bit of information. Given that my current reading stats show 29 books with 41 hours read since April 27th, the displayed chapter remaining times on a kepub -- telling me it is going to take me 4 minutes to read the last 7 pages of a chapter, 14 minutes to read the next chapter and 14.5 hours finish reading the book are not even close to realistic numbers.
