How To Lie With Numbers.
I just love this bit.

I spoke to Michael Serbinis, the CEO of Kobo, which this week announced a new $129.99 touch-screen e-ink reader, the Kobo WiFi Touch Edition. He, too was troubled by Barnes & Noble's battery life claims.

"We didn't calculate our numbers like they [B&N] did," Serbinis said. "If you kept the wireless off and only read for 30 minutes a day, you'd get close to two months of battery life with Kobo's new e-reader, too. But that's not a typical usage scenario."
So....., Amazon's admitting that the specs for the Kindle's battery life are just made up BS?
