How does it cope with instances like putting the kindle aside to "powder my nose"?
1. Yes.
2. Yes sadly. I've noticed that if I accidentally skipped to another part of the book it throws the timer way off, especially early in the reading when it is very sensitive to outliers.
3. Not well, it keeps track during that time. That is why if there is any distraction I just put the Kindle to sleep. Taking that precaution and not skipping around results in a pretty accurate assessment in my reading time (not at first though).

I always hate the idea that it is constantly timing me.
