In my opinion it's hard to compare, because battery life depends on many factors:

Using standby mode or switching the device completely off after usage (shutdown)
Using flash memory devices or not. And to make it even worse: each of them has different power consumption
Reading Books in different formats. Some are easy to display, some need a lot of processor power
How fast pages are read. Using large fonts gives you short times to read a page, small fonts mean more time for each page. And everybody has a different reading speed.

So everyone has different kinds of usage, so it's really hard to compare.
