In an excel file or the best will be an integration into Calibre.
More than just a re-format then.

Hmm...
An accumulation of the reading time per book;
Plus the start and the end time.

Since that is not reporting anything that would show (directly) that a person was reading more than one book at a time - -
Perhaps include a count of the "reading sessions" ?

Think of that for a moment...
Otherwise a "reference book" in the report would look like it took the entire time you had the book on the device to read it.
But with a "reading sessions" count, that would be a real tip-off that the book was only being used as a reference.
(The "reading sessions" count would be unusually high.)

*And*

How about reporting the length of the book? (that log might be showing us how many bytes total is in the book.)
or
Perhaps the average bytes per "reading session"?

Output format(s):

How about something general purpose, that almost anything can use?
Like CSV (comma separated variables)?

Note: In general, members of this forum do not do custom "code this for me" requests. (Although some members do "work for hire".)

Processing:

All the above relatively easy to do in Lua.
But Lua is only pre-installed by Amazon in the 5-series firmware and this request is for a 4-series firmware device.
I do not know off-hand what processing resources are pre-installed by Amazon in the 4-series firmware.

Hmm...
On the subject of Lua -

Why not switch this thread's subject into a "feature request" for either (or all) of our multi-format readers?
Those are already written in Lua, work across device types, and are open source programs. Under **our** control, not under Amazon's ?
