For people wanting to know the accuracy of the To Read Time stats: it's perfectly accurate. Today I hit a chapter for which the KA1 (on firmware 4.6.9995) estimated exactly an hour of reading time. I read the chapter, and it did take me exactly one hour (and two minutes to put up some water and pour a cup of coffee). It is -only- accurate if stats are working and recording though, so the reading can calculate your average reading speed over time. If it can't due to broken or disabled stats, it just uses 'some' average that never changes, which in my case, is too fast as I take more time than the TRT estimates.

I have a little different experience, currently using 4.6.9995firmware. I have reading stats turned on and it's very inaccurate as far as showing how many hours I've spent reading but seems to be fairly accurate for calculating the amount of time it will take me to finish a book. For the book I'm currently reading--at 75% complete, it shows 2 hours remaining which seems about right to me. But it shows that I've spent 34.7 hours reading for the current book, which is wildly overstated. It also shows that I've spent a total of 1586 hours reading on my KA1 since I last did a factory reset--probably about a year ago. That would mean I've spent about 4.5 hours each and every day for the last year reading on my KA1. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to spend reading--and making that number even more preposterous is the fact that I spend about half my reading time reading on my Kindle Voyage and about half on the KA1.
I will upgrade to the latest firmware eventually--when I have a little bit of time to install the firmware and the patches I use. Curious to see the new quick page flip option work and to see if prior reading stats are more accurately reported.
