If you know how fast you read, lets say, 30 'pages' per hour, you can determine almost exactly how long a book will take you to finish.

exactly. I find the epub page numbers ( generated as per adobe standards ? ) to be a reliable guide across multiple books and devices. So i populate a page count column in calibre with the plug in calibrated to use the adobe method, based on epub.
I see matching counts shown in mantano reader app on Kindle Fire; so I guess it uses the same formula. on the front page of that app I can see all my current reading + how far into each book I am.
Kindle disappointingly still only has the "row of dots" rough guide on home page book cover thumbnails on voyage, they have not updated that method since the days of K3
