Basing the reading statistics for KU on information they already had (highest page read) makes logical sense. To implement a better tracking system would have required them to update the firmware for all models of Kindle and also all of the reading apps for all platforms. They also would have had to block older Kindle models and older apps from using KU. That would have been a problem for customers.

In any case, it is the authors who are cheated. Amazon makes money either way.
