My experience is that the LED frontlight is very battery-friendly, at least with the brightness levels I use; around 15% only.

Please give it three or so complete battry run-downs in order for the battery indicator to become more precise. Often, the 100% readings are not to precise; looks like a clamp-up to make sure customers see the expected 100% reading when in fact the charger switched off at a slightly different level because it couldn't get any more charge into the device.

Alas, I would be interested to hear how your experience will be comparing the Kindle and Kobo devices in terms of battery lifetime for a full charge?
