The Kindle for Android app is very elementary and lackluster compared to the built-in Kindle Fire HDX app. For example, there is no font selection and therefore no way to turn ON/OFF publisher fonts. If the book has publisher fonts they will be displayed like it or not! But the app gets the job done.
As far as the Time Left to Read feature, it will take a page or two to start working, even if it was working and you quit Kindle app and go back later, it will forget what it was registering. I've had it show 2hrs 36min on one page, then 1hr 5mins on the next page, then 3hrs 11mins on the following page. It is quite dysfunctional near the beginning of a new section or chapter, but it usually settles down and works better near the end of the chapter/section.

Sounds the same as HDX reader with the exemption of extra fonts. There is no way turn on/ off publishers fonts on the Kindle Fire either. You have to hard code into the Style Sheet. I've got it down pat now on how to do that. You must add font family class to all styles to get the font to show up on everything.
In order for Time Left to Read work right the books has to have Kindle Navigation remember on the old Kindle how you could jump from chapter to chapter using the dpad? That's what Time Left To Read uses to figure out it's chapters. Calibre adds this if you get the right XPath. I'm sure there is a manual way to do it too.
