Free EPUB word counter
EPUB word counter and reading time calculator
Choose an EPUB to see its word count and chapter lengths. Set a comfortable pace and daily reading time to estimate how long it will take.
How it works
- Choose an EPUB that opens without digital rights management. The file stays on your device.
- Explore counts in the book’s reading order, including any readable introductory or closing sections.
- Adjust words per minute and minutes per day to estimate your reading time.
Word counts describe the readable text in the EPUB and may include introductions or notes. Reading times are estimates: unfamiliar vocabulary, lookups and breaks can change your pace. This tool does not remove DRM or analyse scanned pages.
About this tool
Is my EPUB uploaded?
No. The file is opened and counted locally in your browser. It is not stored in your LingoReader Library.
Why does this differ from a printed book’s word count?
Editions may contain different introductions, notes or supplementary sections. This tool counts the readable text in the EPUB’s reading order.
How should I choose a reading speed?
Start with a pace that feels comfortable in the language you are learning. Time a short passage if you want a better estimate, and allow extra time for lookups.
