No, for ages, long before the current changes, Amazon actually counts the pages you viewed on a Kindle (eink or app) and pays the author per page, from a pot of money decided by Amazon. It doesn't work unless the app or eink (or Fire app) connects to Amazon via WiFi or Mobile on the device, got the ebook from amazon, you actually viewed each page of the unmodified ebook etc.

I then go to my Oasis, download the book, go to the end, get the ratings popup screen, rate the book.

The author is only getting paid for a couple of pages.
