If they don't ever see you read any of it, the author won't get paid. Although since it is a borrowed book, I assume you will turn it on to return the book and at that point, I assume they grab the data they want/need.

And yes, I should have used a better example than one or two pages because the author doesn't get paid unless the reader reads 10 percent of the book. However, flipping through the book would trigger that. I'm not sure if clicking on the "chapter" links would automatically trigger the 10 percent or if the person would have to page through enough pages.
