Does anyone know how to set the time left to finish reading a chapter? The same as it is done on Kindle but in the Calibre reader.

Jailbreak it (if possible) and install KOReader. Otherwise, no.

How do you jailbreak Calibre?
How do you install KOReader in the jail-broken Calibre?

Really, try reading the question.

In the viewer preferences under headers and footers you can add time left.

Since the message has been quoted in another message, an edit to the original message would not affect the quoted.

Thank you for the answer. Would you mind telling me where is, "viewer preferences under headers and footers where you can add time left" I can't find it under the Preference(Interface/Conversion/etc.) in the main Calibre Screen under Preference nor in the Calibre Reader

Thank you very much

Open a book in the viewer, right click on the book in viewer, click on Preferences, click on Headers and footers. Make your changes and click on OK.
