Does it use an average?
Does it include the times I rifle through a book, looking ahead for information?
How does it cope with instances like putting the kindle aside to "powder my nose"?

I'm sure that the answer is very complex; I'm mathematically challenged, so please keep answers as simple as possible.
my basic kindle touch does exactly the same thing it under estimates the time left in the chapter. which is why i wish it had pages left in the chapter as an option but sadly it doesn't.
