Convert a word count into pages and an approximate reading time.
A standard double-spaced page holds roughly 250 to 300 words, so dividing the total by that density yields pages. The reading time uses a typical 230 words-per-minute pace. Page estimates are the currency of academic and editorial word limits, and they make a manuscript's real size tangible.
