I still have an old Kindle and it still gets months of battery life. I occasionally read comics so this may get me to upgrade.

No. It was a completely different product. It's like trying to claim that an iPhone is an iMac because it has the "i" in the name and is made by the same company. Similar branding to help tie it together, but completely different devices.
