whoops.

but whatever, the various measurement methods assume way too much knowledge from non IT users
e.g. if I look at my 2TB drives, in windows, it says that each have only 1.81 TB, both the internal drive and the WD USB drive
It does not really matter who you blame for that state of affairs... microsoft? , WD ? the apparency is that i have been ripped off to the tune of 0.19 TB per drive. And my 1TB drive has only 931Gb

(I understand that I haven't lost anything, really - but lots of others don't . Just look at amazon reviews for any storage product

A naive customer buying an 8Gb Kobo reader will expect something close to 8Gb, not 6.7 ! They may even start a thread here saying I've lost 1.5Gb
