I think you "page turning" folks are pulling at straws with your philosophying. I suspect page turns simply means how many times you push the button to turn a page. The Amazon K2's I had never made 1200 page turns before needing to be recharged, with or without Whispernet running.

I would have preferred Sony to leave out the wireless as it will be next to useless, expensive, and 20 times slower than loading your books from the computer.
