Marketing people get payed a lot of money to brain-f**k you, and they do it well. Sometimes they get sued for false advertising, sure, but I think Kobo is safe by their careful wording.
I for one would like to know what they consider 'average reading'. I also get the feeling that they are swamped with questions and have told there staff to give somewhat politically safe answers, which usually means vague and non-commital.
