Attached is a nice graph of an RK3288 at work: you can for example see that some high quality video playback uses, pause, 1 Watt.

Thanks, interesting stuff. I think A9 is a very good choice for an ebook-reader, given its power efficiency.
I'm not at all negative about Max1, it's an excellent reader and you can do seamless text internet browsing,
where the lower resolution gives automatically a bigger font size, as I realized today in direct comparison.
I also like the non-blurred whiter screen.
With the Max2 they should had sticked to their original(?) plan to provide a dumb hdmi monitor and an ebook reader as 2 separate devices. There's no point putting it together in one. A rant about touch screens: If I want to read from a screen, why should I touch it with my fatty fingers?
So to choose the A17 was probably due to the hdmi support it provides.
Video playback is power efficient if the codec is hardcoded, as is the case here. Another question is what happens if you put the Mali T760 under full load. [nonsense deleted]
