I doubt if they do. I'm not exactly sure of the calculation, but it appears the initially based on some standard words per minute and gets modified as you read. It will be using the time spent reading, and I know that includes the time timeout. It probably averages out the more you read, but, earlier in the book, it will have a bigger impact.

I take the time remaining as a "guestimate". For words per minute, I would want to see something more accurate. But, I don't really have any interest in seeing it. I like the current in-book stats, though I mainly look at the chapter graph. And I like the current overall stats. And Kobo's Reading Life email with the hours read and pages "flipped" for the month is good. Adding that on the device, or seeing the stats for the last few books in one glance might be good. But, I'm not sure what else is useful.
