A 1300mAh battery would probably have only powered a machine with an LCD screen for half an hour. The battery life may be short, but it would undoubtedly have been a lot shorter still with an LCD screen.
Nobody ever said that no device with an eInk screen is ever going to have a short battery life; merely that eInk screens use less power than LCD screens. That statement remains true.
