People get my book, open it, it opens to the last page, I get credit for people having "read" my book...I get paid max amount.
repeat multiple times with different author names....

There's a 60 day delay in payment so you wouldn't make a dime. Amazon would figure it out and close the account before you were paid.
If you want to pad things, the way to do it is write children's books with images or even adult books with several images. You can buy stock art for the book and use black and white so it isn't too bloated (bloated by size which you then can end up having to get your commissions cut). The images may help add some "pages" although I don't know how much credit an image gets versus text.
Or you could just write your heart out and hope someone loves your stuff enough to spread the word.
If you really, really want to make money, I'd suggest just about any other job than writing books!!!
