So I recently got the Note Pro, and I love it, it’s surprisingly competent in all aspects... but the one thing I have yet to come to grips with is the battery. Just this morning I was browsing the web (kiwi browser) with bluetooth on (keyboard), and I think my battery drained about 15-20% in less than an hour. For an ereader I did not expect this at all; but I suppose Android is a battery hog in combination with wifi and bluetooth.

Should I resign myself to the fact that this will happen if I treat the device as regular tablet, no matter what programs I use? Or are there ways to mitigate this kind of extreme drain— I have concerns about the lifespan of the battery. Are certain browsers much better than others?

I installed accubattery but I think it is still analyzing my app usage.
