But "page" count doesn't mean much with ebooks, because that will vary greatly with customized features such as font size, margin size, and so on. You'd have to calculate on something like word count or percentage instead.

There are no "problems." Given that Authors get paid per pages read, it goes without saying that Kindle both monitors what they consider pages read and monitors, in some manner, the time it takes to read such a page. They do this to minimize any person or group from scamming the system. How they do it is immaterial. The fact is they are a business and obviously take safeguards to protect their interests. If you don't read the book on a Kindle or Kindle app then it is reasonably safe to say that the author does not get paid full value.
