"Seis páginas al día" is completely correct. Although you can say "cada día", too. But:

Como cada día.
Como al día.
Como una manzana al día.
Como una manzana cada día.

But "cada día" doesn't have that meaning of average that "al día" has.

Do you mean the same amount of use? If so, let me fix it for you slightly.

But "cada día" doesn't have the same amount of use "al día" has.

No, I didn't mean amount, but average (statistically). You said you read six pages a day. But I guess that it's not an exact amount, just approximate. I mean, one day you read five and a half pages; another day, you read six; and the other day, you read six and a half. It's quite difficult to say that I read exactly six pages. If you do, you can say "cada", but if you don't do it exactly, if you're reading the sixth page and the the sentence that you're reading follows in the seventh page, you're not being strict and you don't read exactly six pages. So I use average and statistics, for which "al/a la" is used.

Siempre leo seis páginas al día, aunque entiendo.

I want to know why some words are used, and sometimes if I translate them myself, it gets lost in translation.

Yes, you are smart, you can do it

Animus.
