All of the all-sky measurements presented in this paper were acquired by Sony ILCE 7SII cameras equipped with Samyang 24 mm T1.5 VDSLR ED AS IF UMC II lens. The camera was attached to a robotic panorama head (GigaPan EPIC Pro). At a given location, we took 28 or 35 images with the motorized head to cover the whole sky and the portion of terrain close to the horizon with high resolution. The standard exposure setup for the measurements: ISO: 6400, exposure time: 6 s, F/1.4 (T1.5) aperture.

Reading WPM, turns out, is a bit contraversial. Most people overstate their reading speed and you’ll see a huge range online. To get to a definitive conclusion — a researcher in Belgium recently analyzed 190 different studies and concluded the typical American silently reads at 238 WPM for non-fiction and 250 WPM for fiction.
So getting back to the scale on audiobooks — if you wanted the audiobook to ‘match’ your reading speed — the setting would be 1.75x.

Google does remove malicious application from their market place, but given that the application has embedded HTML/JS that can be loaded, it is NOT secure to trust it.
Essentially as @Ewen Marshall told it is about how much you trust the author of the extension.
