So that is conservatively 15 hours of non-sleeping time, with the screen probably updating about once a minute. I'm hoping to hit 11 hours, which sounds easy enough (4 hours less than 15), but the devices I'd be using don't have brand new batteries (the batteries are in good shape though) and I'll be using Wifi. That's why I was saying I thought 11 hours might be cutting it close.

What was your point in asking the question if all you are intending to do is dispute it?
It does not make anyone willing to take the time to answer your next question(s).

Rethink all of that -
Your rationalizing without any facts, only marketing statements.

Other than that, the error in your thinking is that the Kindle does not shift to a low power mode between page turns.

The only time the Kindle is actually 'running' is during the changing of the display.
