With their other readers, it says 8GB, because there's an 8GB card in it.
Kobo did it with the Glo. After it had been out for while, they started appearing with a 4GB card but only used 2GB. The assumption was that the manufacturer ran out of the smaller cards and got a good deal on the larger card. Or just used what they had in hand. Changing the factory image means spending money, both on the actual work to change the image and to change the specs elsewhere. And if the latter is done, they can't go back to the smaller card.
