What they're not told is that you can only get 7500 page turns (I thought the advertised page turn count was 7200) out of it if you set up an automatic button pushing machine to turn the page without pausing to actually read the page.

For normal usage, it is time which is more critical to battery life, not page turns. My battery seems to lose about 1/4 charge over the course of 5 or 6 days whether I'm reading or not. And I certainly don't read 1800 pages in 5 or 6 days! I realize that for battery usage, "page turn" is simply another expression which means "screen redraw" but even with that concept, I don't get 7200 out of a charge!
