I would have expected a bigger difference between E-Ink only vs LCD. The Kindle DX battery is 1530mAh and they claim two weeks of usage with WiFi off (maybe that's exaggeration).

The EE battery is 3400 mAh. Shouldn't it be able to beat the pants off of the DX in terms of E-ink lifetime, its the same screen right? 10 hours seems pretty low in comparison.

Am I missing something?
