That unit of measurement should be dubbed the Pruteanu

As in:

"How many Pruteanus until I'll be proficient in ML if I have zero understanding of the subject"

So shall it be!

1 Pruteanus (1 Prt) is measured as the amount of learning from a 1m high stack of any books given.

obv /s

You could use some standard figures for page and book size (in Kb) and measure Pruteanus in megabytes of text. And you joke, but there's nothing in particular that is required of a unit of measure other than a lot of people thinking it's a good idea.
Should also consider an information density:

This book may look small, but has about .125 Prt in its pages!

Golden!
