I'm not so sure. 10 hours isn't all that long - it means that you have to charge the thing every day. If your multi-purpose device is on its last legs battery-wise, you might not want to read on it then, because you need it to be available as something else. This is a pain with phones, for example.
I want a reliable reader that just works, never (or almost never) crashing, with a properly long battery life (i.e. a week or better). Reliable devices are often reliable because they do one thing well. Windows' strength is that it can support many applications - but this is also its weakness in terms of reliability.
