Interesting, this is the first time I can remember hearing a claim that Kobo uses one page per minute as the reading rate. And it isn't the case here. It might be the starting point, but, it does change as I read. And I have seen rates much faster, and much slower. The much higher usually happen when I read a purchased kepub on more than one device. Especially if I read mostly on one and open it on another and just read a page. That can give a ridiculously low time-to-finish. But, overall, my impression is that it is close. Not to the second accurate, but, a good estimate for how I am read.

KePub's page numbers are supposed to be 1 screen = 1 page but that doesn't work properly and we don't know what really is going on. With ePub page numbers, we do know what's going on.

You know that every time you say something like that, I get close to
. And that's because I
do know what is going on and that means I know how bad the RMSDK page counting algorithm actually is. Yes, it is consistent across devices/apps for exactly the same book, but, that is about all.
Edit: Bugger, I've broken the rule: "Never get into a discussion about how to calculate pages." Vizzini would be most upset with me.
