My current iPad Pro WiFi only lasts well over 2 weeks on standby. That comes from when I left it at work while on vacation and it had dropped to ~50% battery after 16 days. I have very few non-essential apps installed and none that I can control are allowed to run in the background, check location, etc.
Apples to apples? Would it have made you feel better if I had used a Samsung tablet as the basis for the comparison to compare Android to Android. As I said, I compared a device from a manufacturer often derided for high prices. Given the price comparison, it's hard for me to see how purchasing the Bigme could be justified. I realize a good chunk of the cost may be due to the colour eInk panel but otherwise, it's specs are pretty much any low end commodity Android tablet (2GB RAM, 32GB storage, etc.).

You seemed to be comparing the two devices. You than asked a question, I gave a likely possibility. You than offered the Bigme standby battery life without mentioning anything about iPad. I than did a quick google and reported the iPad Pro (with cellular) standby time. I even joked that it wasn't an apples to apples comparison.
I would guess that in normal usage scenarios, the bigMe would win on battery life. My guess may be wrong.
I'll leave the "value" of the two devices for others to debate.
