You are not. Instagram is likely set up to count views of a post, not full reads.

Also, how do you find the page you let go at? Sounds improbable anyone read any of the books ...

AFAIK Instagram does this by default. It should put you on the page after the one you saw last time. At least this is how it works with normal non-pinned stories.
