Ways the catalog data becomes useful

Find a Book

Use the Book Finder to match your interests with books in the collection. Filter by category, length, reading time, subject, and more. The finder helps you identify books that align with your preferences, making it easier to choose your next read.

Compare Books

The Compare Tool lets you place two or more books side by side. Compare word counts, reading times, text sections, and average sentence length to see how they differ. This objective overview can help you decide which book suits your reading goals.

Reading Time Estimator

Estimate how long it will take to read a book based on its word count. The estimator provides a clear time range, helping you plan your reading sessions. Whether you have a few minutes or a whole afternoon, you can gauge the commitment required.

Using the Library Tools

Finding, Comparing, and Tracking Your Reading

The UXAJU Public Domain Literature Library offers four tools that work together: Book Finder, Compare Books, and Reading Tracker. Each serves a distinct purpose, but they are most useful when used in sequence. The Finder helps you narrow down the catalog, Compare lets you examine a few candidates side by side, and the Tracker turns your choice into a sustainable reading plan.

Start with the Finder

Book Finder is the natural entry point. The catalog contains one hundred titles across four categories, with the largest being Historical Psychological Social Fiction at thirty-nine books. If you are drawn to detective stories, for instance, you can filter by that subject and immediately see titles like The Eames-Erskine case — Key Ideas to Explore, a mystery set in England.

The Finder also lets you set preferences for length and reading time. With ten short books and nine quick reads, you can easily find something for a weekend. But if you prefer a longer commitment, the Finder will surface epics like In the clouds — Reading Notes, which spans over 160,000 words.

Refine with Compare

Once you have two or three promising books, Compare Books lets you put them side by side. You can see word count, estimated reading minutes, chapter rhythm, and sentence flow. These metrics are descriptive, not judgments. A book with long sentences might demand more attention, while one with short sentences could feel brisk.

For example, comparing The Eames-Erskine case (about 68,000 words, 297 minutes) with a longer title like Thrice wedded, but only once a wife — Inside the Classic (about 88,000 words, 386 minutes) shows a meaningful difference in commitment. The latter also has 48 text sections, suggesting frequent stopping points.

Plan with the Tracker

After you choose a book, the Reading Tracker helps you pace yourself. You set a daily page goal, and the tracker estimates how many days you will need. For a book like Wind of destiny — Context and Discussion, which is about 32,000 words, the initial page estimate is around 129 pages. At twenty pages a day, that is roughly seven days.

The tracker stores your progress in your browser, so you can pick up where you left off. It does not require an account, and you can adjust the total page count if your edition differs. By using all three tools together, you move from a broad catalog to a specific plan that fits your schedule.
