By this, I'm not referring to the "5-6 hours to read" that shows up in book details, but the "6 hours to go" that appears when a kepub is on the home page.

Is it individual for each book? I've seen instances of, say, "30 minutes to go" on a book, but then when I read a bit more and go back to the home page it's suddenly "2 hours to go."

Then I've seen individual books get glitchy short times (this happens mostly when I use Kobo's desktop app to load the books onto the device).

What exactly is happening?
