If you're on vacation and without wifi access, leave the book on the device and delete it after you've returned home and turned wifi on (although I reckon the device probably stores the read information at all times and simply phones it back home when you next connect to wifi, which makes it even simpler for you).

Even if I had a Kindle, I would have the WiFi off and Amazon would not know how much I read. That's why this stupid 10% read is crap. It means that a lot of people who do the same thing won't be reporting how much is read back to amazon. Sorry, but any system like that is going to be a great big FAIL!
