The iPad already comes with a well developed battery management and with the battery saving settings inside the app, you can improve the consumption even further.

Your digital photo frame is still an iPad so you can still use it as one. - Price. Chances are, you already have one lying around and if not, they are super cheap to get used so they end up being very affordable compared to common digital photo frames.
