Reading time refers to the estimated duration it takes to read a specific text, often measured in minutes. This estimation can vary based on factors such as the reader's speed, the complexity of the material, and the reader's familiarity with the subject. Many digital platforms, like e-books and online articles, display reading time to help users decide whether they have enough time to engage with the content. This feature enhances user experience by allowing readers to manage their time effectively and choose texts that fit their schedules.
