Unless the LEDs are a significant power drain.
Or maybe the A1 is more efficient; more sleeping relative to page refreshes?

The LEDs are definitely a big battery drain.
Nickel puts reader asleep (at least when speaking about H2O) except IR, using about 1mA, after few seconds (I think 7s). But, if you have LEDs on, they continue to drain battery.
If KA1 uses LEDs, then this feature of nickel to put reader in sleep except for IR this means it uses much more battery than H2O.
Anyone who mentions (s)he has problems with battery should mention if LEDs are on or off while reading.
