That's a difficult question to answer.

In some ways it's misleading, yes. According to Amazon's figures (which my own usage experience bears out), the actual usage time of a Kindle Paperwhite on a single battery charge is around 28h. So in one sense it would be better to have the Kindle with "28h" alongside it. On the other hand, the typical user probably is going to spread that usage over several weeks - something which can't be done with a tablet - so I kind of see the point of what Amazon are saying about it, which is that you'll probably only need to recharge it every few weeks.

So I guess I'd probably say that Amazon's graph is accurate, but open to misinterpretation. Sorry, that sounds like a cop-out, I know.
