Even if I had a Kindle, the WiFi would be off and thus, no way to track my reading. So even if I finish the book, Amazon has no way of knowing that I've read more than 10%. This 10% is garbage and it's not fair for the authors as there is no way to 100% reliably track this 10%.
Technically Kindle Unlimited is a lending library, and the books should be downloaded and returned via the Kindle device/app.
