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.
