This would include loading books, changing the font size, navigating chapters, browsing your library, or loading books to the Reader. By my estimation I got between 1200 and 1500 page turns on my first charge. On my current charge I'm actually counting so I know for sure how many page turns I get per charge.
Loading books would be an exception, yes--but since changing the font size, navigating chapters, and browsing the library all refresh the screen, they count as page turns too.
