pilotbob, it is very likely that some P.R. company sent out a blurb with a typo in it. The journalists are using in depth research and hands-on experience of the PRS for their reports of course

The above is the Waterstones' info page on the 505, and it mentions 6,800 pages as per the extract here:
"In for the long haul - the battery in the Reader from Sony only uses power each time you turn a page. This means you don't need to worry about it dying just when you get to the most exciting part of the book. With one single charge of the battery you can turn 6,800 pages. That's a lot of reading. If you do run out of battery, the USB charger which accompanies your Reader will have it up and running again in just four hours. There's also a portable mains charger available to buy as an accessory which completely recharges the Reader from Sony in two hours - ideal for when you are travelling."
