I agree with you there. Eink uses a lot less power than LCD does, but you're right, it's not the only thing you need to take into consideration when it comes to power consumption. Some people have made the mistake of thinking that just because it's Eink it should not use any power at all in between refreshes. They're completely missing that there's a lot more hardware in a device than just the screen.
