Are you sure if this? My memory of this and a quick test just now doesn't agree. If I finish a book by reaching the end and paging forward, the books read counter is incremented. If I reopen that book and do the same thing, it doesn't increment the count. And it doesn't count books you have mark as finished.

IMO you should only be able to mark a book finished yourself so it doesn't screw up the stats.
In this case you must have gone past the end of the book. It doesn't mark the book as finished until you do that. How is the device supposed to know that it was accidental and not deliberate? Some formats are different. Viewing an image will mark it as finished. But, that isn't unreasonable as there is only one page to an image. But, I am reasonably sure the other formats will need you to go past the end.
