This is a major flaw in the system and Amazon should address it.
I'd be surprised if this wasn't considered, then ignored at some point at the discussion stage, since it would only ever work out in Amazon's favour. When publishers started imposing fixed fonts and margins on their ebooks that you can't change, I started routinely using Calibre to break that formatting before I start reading. I'd guess that would also break what they use to determine whether it's been read or not.
