I'm going to choose not to take offense and assume you actually read the entire request and just missed the point...

This is FOR ME. This is not a dig or complete dissatisfaction with hee character to pages conversion. I change my reader size often and know that it is almost irrelevant in a digital reader age.

This is a RELATABLE number I seek. It's like being a kid and seeing first how thick the book is and then looking at the word size and line spacing.....

As a long time reader, I have a good feel for the size of the books mentioned and how long the type of read is based on that printing and the time and appropriate times I can devote to it. I have gotten much better at this based on word count and knowing my reading speeds.
STILL, it is a QUICK and RELATABLE NUMBER.

It's like English vs. metric systems. I know the math and can do the conversions. But appx 4.8km's isn't as relatable to me as 3 miles. POINT OF VIEW matters.

For those who know this coding far better than I do or can figure out despite my lone attempts, I appreciate their help on what seems like a simple thing for them from which I will learn. I can play with and modify as needed. I will also learn from having an active string and can get better at it myself. I did my homework thoroughly before posting this request.
Forums are informative, but requests for me are last case scenarios. Replies are only when I really know an answer or think I can be helpful. I prefer to think before I post.
