In deep sleep, the power consumption is much the same but in normal use, Linux took less power.

I have 2 Kindle Paperwhite, which gives me about 30 hours of reading time.
If I only read with my original Android devices, it is about as long. When I surf or use my Boox Poke Pro as a navigation system, I get around 25 hours.
In general, the Android devices have much more powerful hardware, but also much stronger batteries.
I have two devices with the same hardware:
- Kobo Glo HD (Linux)
- Tolino Shine 2 HD (Android 4.4.2)
their batteries last approximately the same length with approximately the same use.
