Calibre says kindle res is 525x640, but that's wrong...

The kindle's resolution is 600x800 as you can see on the actual amazon product page.

I'm about to do a Bulk Convert of some PDFs to AZ3 for my Kindle Keyboard and noticed this apparent error on the Page Setup section.

Or am I losing my mind?

That is the actual useable area of the Kindle MOBI viewer, as was determined by doing experiments. The number Amazon quotes is simply the tital screen resolution.
