Another thought, while Kindles do have longer standby time, you can power down an iPad or a Fire HD tablet prior to storage to eliminate power drain whereas the Kindle will remain in standby mode steadily losing charge the whole time.
A (really) long press on the power button powers them OFF as evidenced by the full boot sequence.
But even that mode sips power to poll the button, so a charg will be needed every month or so.
