If we do the math here and say it lasts the entire time and we ONLY read for 30 minutes a day, that means the battery will last 21 hours. 21 hours seems on par with how long people have said the battery lasts, depending on their settings.

Sure! Except this is exactly the same thing that they said for the original Oasis, which, counting the cover, lasted at least half again as long (unsurprising given that it had half again as much battery): it would be reasonable to assume that the KOA2 would last as long, but by all accounts it just doesn't. Basically these battery figures are utterly meaningless marketing bullshit: they don't change as the battery capacity changes and appear to be pulled out of thin air.
