Yes. How often do you update the screen when reading? How often when typing? How much more power goes into the communication for the monitor (USB, BlueTooth, WiFi,... plus VNC processing)? Dedicated ereaders use a burst of energy when the page changes and then more or less sleep until the next page turn. Monitors don't really get to sleep when you're using them.
