Ways the catalog data becomes useful
Compare Books
See how titles stack up by word count, reading time, sentence complexity, and subject matter. Use the comparison table to weigh your options.
Plan Your Reading
Estimate how long a book will take to read based on its length and your pace. Choose a quick read or a marathon depending on your schedule.
Choosing a Path Through the Catalog
With 93 books spread across four categories, the EEMYU Public Domain Literature Library can feel like a crowded shelf. The Book Finder, Compare Books, and Reading Tracker are designed to work together, each answering a different question. The Finder narrows the field, Compare tests two or three candidates side by side, and the Tracker turns a chosen title into a realistic reading plan. Used in sequence, they move you from a vague interest to a finished book.
Start with the Finder
The Finder is the broadest net. You can filter by category, word-count length, estimated reading time, chapter rhythm, sentence flow, subjects, and whether a book is a popular favorite or a hidden gem. If you know you want a Historical Social Novel but are unsure which one, the Finder will surface a manageable list. For example, selecting that category and a medium-length read might bring up Clara Vaughan, Volume 1 (of 3) — Themes and Context, a 63,481-word mystery with a 19.7 average sentence length.
Use Compare for the Final Cut
Compare Books shows up to three books side by side, revealing word count, estimated reading time, text sections, sentence flow, chapter rhythm, subjects, and page information when available. These metrics are descriptive, not judgments. A book with a high sentence-flow number is not better or worse than one with a low number; it simply asks for a different kind of attention.
Track Your Progress
Once you have chosen, the Reading Tracker turns the book into a daily plan. It records pages read, total pages, and a daily goal. If the catalog lacks a fixed page count, it estimates pages from word count, assuming 250 words per page. You can override that with the page count from your own edition. The tracker then estimates remaining time and finish dates, storing your history in the browser without requiring an account.
A Practical Sequence
Start with the Finder to build a shortlist. Move to Compare to see how the candidates differ in measurable ways. Then choose one and set it up in the Tracker. This sequence works whether you have an hour a day or only weekends. The tools are not a rating system; they are a way to match a book to your circumstances.
