I have a Kindle and also use the Kindle App on my iPad and I seldom look at the time remaining. But I wonder if it recalculates the time every time you turn it off and then back on again . The navigation on my car estimates the time remaining to my destination - but it changes depending on the speed of my car. Is it possible that you were reading a little slower the second time or stopped to answer the phone or something?

I'll have to look my mine the next time. And to be really scientific I could open both my Kindle and iPad and check the time on both of them......lol

The Kindle estimates your reading time based on how you turn pages. Honestly, I don't pay any attention to that thing. :)

Yes, Kindle just estimates based on your reading speed. You can actually turn that off. I keep mine on but pretty much ignore it.

That update thing with wordwise is a pain. I had to turn it off because it was set at the highest mark and every darn sentence had hints. I'm not even sure what the hints were I just turned it off.

I much prefer iBooks where it tells you how many pages are left in the chapter (based on font size, etc.). The only time I use the Kindle app is for library books.

Thanks all- I wasn't overly concerned but it was just so puzzling , I could see the time remaining kind of staying stagnant but to increase was just too bizarre. No worries. I really do find it much easier to read on the kindle than a printed page. I particularly like the lighting.
