This matches up with NXP's documentation for their SOCs with a builtin EPDC where Linux requires less power than Android. In deep sleep, the power consumption is much the same but in normal use, Linux took less power.
The only Android based Readers I have experience with has been the Sony Reader PRS-T1 and the nook STR and both had a perfectly good time between charges. I cannot say fr newer Android Readers with newer versions of Android.
