Stitchawl I agree with you, I might get around 2 to 3000 depending how long I have to just sit and read, but I tend to open turn on read for a while then turn off again. (wish I had more time). So as the others have said if you had nothing else to do then just sit and hit the turn page button over and over maybe you might get the said amount..But what the heck I love my reader any way.
