This answer is highly variable. Considering that the average reading pace is 200 words per minute and the average amount of words on a page is about 275: [tex]275 \times 1000 = 275000[/tex] [tex]275000 \div 200 = 1375[/tex] The average reader would take approximately 1,375 minutes or around 23 hours to read a 1000 page book, assuming there are no pauses. Again, this could vary greatly from reader to reader.
