It's already logged that you've read it. It doesn't matter if you delete the book. Next time you turn wifi on it will send log noting that you read the book.

These are all educated guesses. We don't know what Amazon is doing exactly. For example, how do they determine you've read 10%? What if there are bugs causing lending from being under counted? I wonder how publishers audit Amazon's accounting system.
