Not really. The battery life is consumed by both page turn and constant background demands. If you want the most page turns, you keep turning them as fast as you can until the battery dies to grab a bigger piece of the juice for that. If you want the longest time, you don't turn any pages and let the battery be consumed entirely by the background needs of the operating system and hardware. You need both pieces of information to get something closer to the whole picture. However, since no one can read at the fastest page turn speed, and most people probably don't average many pages per day, the time to drain the battery without page turns is probably more applicable. I know it is for me, as I don't read anything like thousands of pages on my devices between recharges.
