He is just playing "technical" with.
In Engineering (specially industrial engineering which studies the production process).
Quality is not an "absolut" term, if not as "how close you get to the desired atributes of your product".
For example if I (Amazon) pretended a battery cicle of 720 hours (30 days); and my average kindle would last for 700 hours, then quality is 95%.
Quality is referred also as the relation between the resource and the atribute.
Example of an e-reader case: Sony PRS uses metal cases and kindle uses plastic ones.
Metal cases are more resistant but more expensive, while kindle ones are not as much as the Sony ones, but are cheaper (less expensive).
IMHO; Kindle is doing a good job, as its becoming the "Market Standard", that is, the one everyone uses as reference to compare (same as "Microsoft" with most software or OS for computers, or Firefox for internet browsers).
That being said, Kindle remains the basic needs and propierties an e-reader must have:
e-ink pearl screen
1 month battery last
PC connectivity: Wifi+USB
etc...
