Is this accurate? A Kindle basic has a 1530mah battery. My phone has 1642mah battery. I think I can probably get about 6 hours listening to audio on my phone with everything on (cell, wifi, gps, bluetooth). Why would the Kindle basic be worse (assuming you turn off wifi)? Is the screen on/updating on the Kindle Basic while you are listening to an Audiobook?
