I finally found a app that helps me log my reading during the day. I set the categories, enter the book info, the starting page, and then I can time each reading session for each separate and it'll tell me all sorts of information about my reading habits.

Sweet: it's called BookMarker by Koji Ito, it was .99 cents.
Madeleine: No rudeness taken And true I do somewhat know my reading habits, but like the statistics part of what this app does. I'm usually reading from multiple books throughout the day, some I know I won't finish for maybe another month or more because I only read a few pages a day, and this shows me info about that.

I'm a sucker for statistics, so I think this would be fascinating. Has anyone noticed how long it takes to read certain less-than-fully-absorbing novels, and how quickly one can read a fast-paced, tooth-grittingly suspenseful book of the same or longer length? (There's a reason why they call them fast-paced, I guess.) I finish these really juicy novels so much faster than the dull ones, it makes me wonder if it's only that I spend more time reading them because they're so much fun to read, or if I really do read faster when I'm reading them. If I used an e-reader and had an app like this, I would definitely try to figure out the answer to this question! Perhaps it could really be possible to quantify how good a novel is!I can time each reading session for each separate and it'll tell me all sorts of information about my reading habits.

Apps are just applications for your smartphone, ipad, ipod touch, etc.
