I agree that it seems flat-out-wrong.

My sister reads at half the speed I do, yet we both read and enjoy the same books. Maybe I could ask for my money back when the six-hour read turns out to be only a three-hour read.

No. I don’t want ‘time to read’ on my books.

Something I would really love that sounds related but isn’t, is word count on eBook sales sites. So that I know when I’m paying novel price for a novella or a short story.

Articles like that tell me two things:
– the writer was on deadline and out of ideas
– the editor thinks it doesn’t matter what you write, as long as you write.

The Internet has helped modern journalism to become just like television: a voracious consumer of content. And the bottom of the barrel is in sight.
