It is 7000 pageturns OR 3 weeks of doing nothing.
SO you could read, for example, 3500 pages in 1 and a half weeks.

Also bear in mind that using SD card impacts the battery life. Also opening of a book, repaginating the book can impact the battery life quite a lot.

It is possible to get [plus minus] 7000 pageturns
Load a 1000 page book. It should be the only book in the main memory. Remove SD card. Open the book on page 1. *Now* charge the device, and start turning the pages. When you get to the end of the book, go to page 1 and repeat turning pages in 1 second intervals. It won't take more than 2 hours and one very sore finger.

See ... they are NOT lying ... you are just not told the whole truth ;-)
