True, how far != how long. But as I said, the unit (if we are talking about Kindles) most certainly does know how long you view each page, since that is the only way to measure Time Left To Read (a metric of how long you
will view each page that is left).
And since Amazon does not, I believe, pay authors when you borrow a book through Kindle Unlimited and skip to halfway, read a few pages and give up, I have a feeling they sync that data back to their servers.
I do agree, and have long since done so, that this data cannot serve any meaningful purpose in spying on you unless someone is FAR more imaginative than I.

I am unsure why you think I need that to be explained...
