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?
I've never had an accurate time left with KePub or ePub. With ePub, (not tired it on 4.32) I used to get 1 minute for each page and that never changed no matter how fast or slow I read.
