In the attached shots, Kobo's click per minute count is pretty much spot on. But if that rate is used to calculate the time remaining, the answer should be 16.8 hours, not 44.

The KOReader stats are MUCH more accurate. At exactly 4 clicks per minute, the time taken to finish the book should be 12.366 hrs - VERY close to KOReader's estimate, very much unlike the Kobo count. The book is Calibre converted kepub too, so it's impressive that KOReader counts and extrapolates so much more accurately than does Nickel.
