If the Androids are dying off as fast as some reports, then it might not be worth the extra $$ my my needs.

I call such statements nonsense.
There are just as many deaths in other electronic devices.

You have even posted your Ares is a power hog.

Question and concern remains. You buy a device expecting weeks power and get days.., the answer is not to find a wall socket. Of course I can appreciate android requires more power, but one doesn't expect exponential differences.

Thanks, but still looking for users' in here actual experiences.

I am a Likebook and Boox device user and I write my experiences.

The Ares consumes a lot and I don't know why (maybe because of the screen with the sun bug) - that's why I only turn it on when I work with it (exclusively) on the go (because of its handy size and weight) and I turn it off when not.
And when I come home, it is plugged in so that it is fully charged the next time I use it.

For standard (at home) work in portrait format I use the Alita or in landscape format the Boox Note Air - they stay switched on and in idle mode when I am not using them.
For reading I use a 6 inch Boox Poke 3 - so I can read for about 50 hours (according to a report).

With these devices, I don't care about the consumption, when I see that there is only a little battery capacity left, then they are plugged into the socket.
And I don't keep a book about it either - I don't care at all.

And your question about:

I'm looking for IN-USE vs STANDBY

Likebook Ares
Likebook Mars
Likebook Alita
Boox Nova 2/3
Boox Note 3

probably nobody can answer that honestly - because nobody cares: the essential aspect is that it is sufficient.
