All the manufacturers use figures like that - they come from PVI, the screen manufacturer. It is an accurate figure, but a completely artificial one; it's what you'd get if you started with a fully-charged battery, then flipped pages as fast as you could until the battery was flat. It doesn't reflect "typical" use. Rather like fuel-consumption figures for a car.
