It can be both! Amazon states that they base their battery life estimates on a half hour a day of reading. (I think that part is misleading, but it appllies to their other Kindle devices too.) You get the longer battery life as long as you put the main unit back into the cover for a significant portion of the remaining 23.5 hours of each day. That doesn't seem very difficult.

ETA: You should be able to prorate the battery time for increased usage as long as you don't exceed about six hours of reading in a single session, which seems very reasonable to me.
And my Kindle 7 has a longer battery life than the Oasis
