Yeah, lots of tests are possible. FWIW (nothing probably), I found this quote from a B&N rep in an old May 2011 article. It is unclear which model of Kindle is being referred to. Something around Kindle 2/3(Keyboard) presumably:
With up to two months on a single charge, the all-new Nook has the longest-battery life in the industry and superior battery performance to Kindle 3. In our side-by-side tests, under the exact same conditions, continuous use of the device resulted in more than two times Kindle's battery life. While reading at one page a minute, the all-new Nook battery lasts for 150 hours where the Kindle battery, using the same page-turn rate, lasts for only 56 hours (both with Wi-Fi off). We've also done a continuous page turn test and at one page turn per second, the all-new Nook offers more than 25,000 continuous page turns on a single charge.
It does point to the old Nooks as being a
possible device to investigate if the Kindle battery doesn't pan out. Unfortunately, I loose a speaker in going to that device vs the KT1, but it's an option.

None taken. I have experience using them, but none developing for them, so yeah, there's a risk.

Found it. Awesome, thanks. Your warnings on that page about just how slow the powersave option sound like that it may end up a no-go for this application, but I'll try it out!
