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.

@JSWolf: Notice the comment from ottisschwenk about battery size.
While the Linux based ereaders manage to give a decent reading experience with a single core processor, most of the Android ereaders go for multi-core processors. One of my 7.8" ereaders gives me close to the same run time as my Aura One when reading epub format. Sadly, it does so with a 50% larger and heavier battery. Using it's builtin TTS was pretty much death to the battery. Combining that with a monotone voice guaranteed to make any book a cure for insomnia made it unusable for the person who originally purchased it.
