One way to calculate that is to see if a user is repeatedly blitzing through numerous books, which looks like what you got caught in.
It's not that you went through 300 books. it's that you went through 300 books in an hour and then did it again and did it again. Scammers do this as Kindle Unlimited pays out per page read. You can Google "Kindle Unlimited Click Farm" and find many articles about it.
It's just your bad luck that your legitimate behavior matches a well known scheme that Amazon is protecting against. So Darryl was right. It is a good and necessary anti-fraud measure.
