If I was reading a book and I went to have a look at the copyright page which is usually at the back of an eBook these days, how would the Amazon or the Kindle know I had not read up to that part of the book?

Would data be sent back to Amazon saying I'm at the copyright and the author gets paid because I've gone past 10%?
Yes of course. A log is kept and sent to Amazon the next time wifi is turned on, which reports how much of the book is read or listened to.

At least, that's how it works with Scribd, so I assume Amazon does the same thing.
