the SOCs may run Android fine but no Android-based ereader has the battery life of a Kindle (or a Kobo or a Pocketbook for that matter).

I find the battery life diffference to be the main reason I used a dedicated ereader. I often read a book straight-through for 5 or 6 hours. None of my android-based readers last comfortable through that, but all of the linux-ish ones do.
