"Real" page count for non-fiction

I've been reading a lot more non-fiction in the past couple months and I'm finding that it's messing up my stats because the actual pages of the book are dramatically less than the number of total published pages when you include references. So, for the book I'm currently reading, I'm only a little over "50%" of the way done, but I've only got one actual chapter left, and so as soon as I say finished, the stats will say "great job reading 200 pages in a single day!" which isn't really accurate. Maybe there is a way to go back into my journal entries and edit this, but I worry that it would leave me in a weird mismatch state around finished/DNF. This would probably be a data nightmare, but just musing about whether there is a user-friendly way to keep this sort of thing accurate.

Hello! The best bet for this is to edit the journal entries for now! The book will still be marked as finished but your pages would be accurate. You can go through and edit each progress update (if you do those) or just the auto-generated "finished" one.
