Why does the iLiad have such a short battery life, compared to other e-ink readers?

The iLiad Book Edition looks like a nice device, but it appears to top out at 15 hours on a full charge, which is not even long enough for a trans-Pacific flight.

Why the HUGE difference in battery life from the likes of the 505, when it uses a similar screen (albeit a bit larger?)
