Reading resources: templates, checklists, calculators and data pages
Research: what we have measured
RS-01
Is there a simple printable reading log you can use?
Yes, here is one. It fits on a single page and asks for six things, one of which most apps never ask for: where you stopped.
RS-02
How long will it take you to finish a book at your pace?
Enter the book's length and your usual pace. The calculator gives you weeks to finish, books a year at that pace, or the pages a day you need to finish by a date.
RS-03
How much does each reading tracker app cost?
Every price we have on record, in one ledger, with the date each source was read. The table updates whenever an app's card does.
RS-04
Which reading tracker has which features?
Every app against every card row, on one page. Each stamp means the same thing it means on the app's profile.
RS-05
What should you check before choosing a reading tracker?
Twelve questions, five minutes. Answer them before you install anything, and the shortlist writes itself.
RS-06
How do you keep track of where you are in a book series?
A one-page card for one series: the reading order, what you have read, and a spoiler-free line on where things stand after each book.
RS-07
Is there a printable tracker for building a reading habit?
Thirty boxes, one reading moment, one plan. Print it, put it where you read, and fill in a box each day you read.
RS-08
How do you track a yearly reading challenge on paper?
One card for the year: the challenge, twelve monthly lines, and a box for when you change it.
RS-09
How do you set a book club reading schedule without spoilers?
One card per book: when you meet, how far everyone reads before each meeting, and who hosts.
