If you change screens fast enough so that you reach the "6000 screen" limit in, say, 4 hours you'll drain an eInk Kindle but only 1/2 drain a Fire.

If you look at my OP you'll see I calculated my screen changes/pages at over 11,000 on one charge, hence my statement that the Kindle 3 did better than advertised.
I wasn't comparing to an LCD as I'm aware of eInk screens only using power when redrawing.
