These things are very heavily optimized for the singular purpose of reading books. They can't do much of anything else, but they do that one thing very well and very efficiently. They run a custom, lightweight Linux OS that's very aggressive with its battery management. Coupled with an e-ink display, they sip power and can run for weeks on a single charge. That's not something a simple android can provide.

I lost mine in my house. Looked for it in April, couldn't find it. In September I found it and the battery was at 56%.

Also you can't read a tablet in direct sunlight.
