When every page has been viewed. The only fiction books I would see that being a problem with would be short story anthologies. Some people would flip through the boring ones, but others would go to the contents and navigate to the next one from there. The flippers would be seen to have read it, the navigators wouldn't.
That would be solved by just giving anthologies away for free since they are basically just advertising for other things the contributors have written.
