The fact that they use the word "pages" instead of "screen refreshes" is misleading (and probably intentionally misleading). The average consumer will read 8,000 pages and calculate an average book of 400 pages and go "wow I can read 20 books on a single battery charge.
Even if I take into account menu changes and double the screen refresh for every time I page forward I'm only getting 4,000 screen refreshes and that's being generous.
Like I said I'm actually happy with the battery life. I just think they should be honest and say 120 hours of battery life on a single charge. My vote is that Mobileread removes "page turns" from the comparison matrix or puts a disclaimer on it. I think it's unfair to the companies like Iliad and Readius that are quoting hours of operation.
