Nook Color Battery Life - Page 2

aagstn · 12-09-2010, 08:14 PM

I'm getting pretty much the same kind of battery life. I still use my original nook outside, but I agree even in the shade the screen isn't really bright enough to read comfortably outside. However, I expected that going in and this is my inside device.

I don't have a color nook, but use a PDA with an LCD screen for ebook viewing. In my experience, screen brightness is the biggest factor in battery life. I keep mine set as dim as possible while being able to read comfortably (10% or less, depending on conditions). Wifi is also a battery drain, but I seldom do that and haven't measured it. Battery charge drops to about 80% in average daily use. I recharge nightly, so this isn't an issue.

Will the color nook let you turn the backlight all the way off? I can read outdoors on my PDA if I do so.

A rooted NOOKcolor will if you install an app for greater control over brightness.

I habe been using my nook color for 3 days without a single charge and it's at 75%. I have wifi on ( I post the status progress of my book) and seldome use the browser. I keep the brightness down all the way.I just hope they get the syncing working right between the classic nook and the nook color.

the syncing between the nook classic and the nook color so far I found is the nook classic is the mothership,
