I'll second one of the other guys: How long (in days) was it lasting between recharges? Let's back off the page count for a second and look at the other measurement of battery life for these readers (time between recharges). Combined, the two place a limit on battery life, not just one or the other, and the length of time between charges is more likely to be the limiting factor than page counts. Especially since I don't know anyone who is heavy enough a reader to actually burn through the 2 dozen books required to hit the page count limit in under two weeks.
There have been a couple calls asking for how you determined what the page count was, or asking for more detail on this second aspect of battery life, and I think it would help prove your case in more minds if you actually gave us the whole set of data and the rationale behind it. Otherwise it comes off as biased opinion, and those of us with contradictory experiences will simply argue with you until we are all tired of it and the thread dies, with no real conclusion made.
And in my experience, I've found that my 900 does actually get the 2.5 weeks with wireless off that Sony claims, although I can usually only make it through about a half-dozen books in that time, plus the daily newspapers I read. That would maybe only account to 1-2k page turns under heavy reading. The 600 I played with was similarly close to the 2 week mark, although it came up short, which I attributed to the high numbers of annotations I was doing with it (I was proofreading one of my OCR'd scans at the time and was annotating pretty much every page).
