Reading a webpage or listening to an audiobook? Use this conversion chart to help you record pages.
Webpage:
Every time you scroll down to the next "page," count that as 1 more page. Example: You read the screen, scroll down once to finish - 2 pages.
Audiobooks:
Picture books & Early/ Intermediate chapter audiobooks
1min = 1 page
YA audiobooks
1.5 min = 1 page
Turn the hours into minutes then divide by 1.5.
Ex: 11 hours, 43 min = 703 min divided by 1.5 = 469 pages
