You are more than right. I ever wondered why the sizes feel so 'unexpected'...

Maybe because Amazon comes from the USA?

In Europe, for example, units are very simple. There is (not Great Britain, but this is another storry) simple always a 10^n between different units. 10, 100, 1000, ...
1 Kilogramm is 1000 Gramm, 1 Meter is 10 Dezimeter or 100 Zentimeter, ...
Have a look at the unit-conversion between inches, miles, gramm, grain, ounces, pounds, yards, gallons, ...
THAT is random.

Just joking!
