Forgive my skepticism but WiFi aside, LCD backlights are notoriously power hungry and the listed battery capacity, while generous for an eink device, is not *that* hefty.
24hrs sounds... overly ambitious for an Android Webpad/color reader...
On a device like that 6-8 hrs is far more common.

Still worth buying if the reader software is a port from the eink line, even at 6-8 hrs, but at 24hrs you should be holding press conferences and listing it in 64pt helvetica bold.

Just sayin' that kind of battery life would be a selling point to brag about not something hidden in the specsheet.
