It is deliberately misleading. Indeed I note that in Amazon's description of their eInk readers in the UK, they have removed the misleading chart they include in the US version, perhaps because of the stronger UK advertising regulations.
So you would only count the times the eInk device is actually refreshing the pages as actual use (excluding the time it's being read)?
