Comparing the Tolino Shine 3 running Android and the Kobo Clara HD running Linux, the Kobo unit allows reading longer between battery charging. My Clara HD allows me to read for ~30 hours to take the battery down to ~30%. I seldom see the battery that low since I connect to my computer to transfer books rather often.

For eInk devices, Kobo, Amazon, Pocketbook use Linux while most others such as Onyx Boox, Tolino, Boyue, etc. are using Android. The battery life issue is, IMHO, more likely related to the reduced battery size in many newer ereaders in an attempt to reduce the weight.
One of my coworkers purchased a Onxy Boox Poke3 as a Christmas present to himself. He installed multiple reading apps (Kindle, Kobo, Pocketbook, Moon+, Audible, etc.). He has been very disappointed with the battery life even using the native reading app but then an 8 core CPU, WiFi/Bluetooth and Android 10's less than stellar power optimization for eInk displays is not a good recipe for long battery life.
