Strange reading times
I have two non-sideloaded books. Both of them I've only begun to read. One of them says "2 mins to go" and the other one says "7 mins to go." I'm not quite that fast a reader.

My non-sideloaded books have more reasonable times (several hours each). I wonder if somehow the chapter and book times got mixed up.

Is there some way to fix this? I tried reading a chapter of each but they're still messed up.

It's my experience that kobo reading stats, whether purchased or sideloaded, are works of much purer fiction than the books whose progress they chart. I can be told I'm 50% through a book after 90 minutes of reading and also be told I have 5 hours left.

Did you skim through any KePub recently?

I did once a few years ago, before I figured out how to mark a book as read. But I've had a factory reset since then.

Could these books be missing entries in the ToC? That would throw off the time remaining.

I noticed that the little chapter-length graph in the in-book reading statistics seemed to be messed up too. I'm not sure how that happened. I deleted the book entries with Calibre and then used account repair to put them back. Both the time left to read and chapter graph look okay now.
