I wish people would stop repeating this misleading comparison.
Yes, eInk readings have a battery life of a month, if you only use it for half an hour a day.
Yes, tablets tend to have a battery life of about 10 hours, if you use it continuously.
Those figures are not in any way comparable.
Yes, an eInk device will probably have a battery life somewhere between 2-4 times that of an LCD device. Why isn't it enough to just say that, rather that the repeating the misleading puffery that Amazon/B&N/etc put out?
