12 hours is about what we'd expect from a good thin/light reading tablet with a somewhat-efficient screen.

Why?
I think 122h is a good number.
One of the biggest differences between LCD and eInk power consumption. However, eInk is black/white, LCD is colour.
No LCD based ebook reader would boast more than 5-6 hours, maybe 10? OLED is clearly overtakes LCD and boasts 122. I think it is a very good number considering that it will have qualities of LCD, but no backlight, so more like eInk, no eye-strain? More over, 122h is infinitely better than any iRex product even with eInk.
