I'm with you there. I read. When nook says it needs to charge, I charge it. Lasts a heckofa lot longer than my cell battery.

I'm getting about 7-8 hours, which is two days of reading during the week, and just over a day on the weekend. I've moved the Nook's charger/USB into the bedroom next to the nightstand, so I (hopefully) remember to plug it in before I sleep.
One of the reasons I've kept the Opus (other than the Nook's miserable organization) is because the Nook gets down too low in the middle of a Sat or Sun, so I have another option until the Nook recharges. I also have the iPhone, but I only use that for Kindle freebies. |

anyway guys, I'm sure I gonna love the nook when I get it and I'm not an avid reader either so I guess I will have a week without recharging... but how many turn pages would you say the nook has? An estimated of you avid readers guys... 500? 1.000? Last edited by Paco; 08-19-2010 at 06:52 PM. |

Mine is like Joykins; 6% per hour for reading, .5% per hour in sleep mode, 20%per hour with WiFi. For each charge, I get around 15 hours of straight reading.
I also monitor the power usage in reading mode without turning the page and found the unit still drains at 4% per hour. That means page turns use very little power (only 2%) and most of the power is used to perform backgroud applications, such as checking the touch screen circuit (even when it is power off) and other monitoring functions. I just wish that I'm proficient in the Android OS; it would certainly be a fun project to modify the SW and see how each function affects the power. |

So basically its 6-10% per hour depending. Which equals out to what like 10-14 hours I would say? Not horrible but could be better, I just read for an hour and half and it went from 64% to 52%.
So I am down to 52% from when I first used it at 100%, read 1 book(250 page book) and 2 manga...I am content with this. |

And IN SPITE OF THE FAMED LONG CHARGE OF THE NEW KINDLE I DO NOT LIKE THE CLUNKY KEYBOARD AND PREFER THE TOUCH SCREEN. As far as looks are concerned the Nook is absoluted the best looker around in e readers. |

"48% for a book of 250 pages+2 mangas (I don't know what they but I assume are like reading a little book) is nice to my taste. And we get a nice little LCD touchscreen unlike the Kindle"
Yeah Just imagine two 200 page comic books, They take about an hour for me since I like to look at the art... |

Does it make a difference whether you turn pages primarily via the touchscreen or via the buttons?

I tried both and didn't see too big of a difference. As I had observed earlier, for my unit, it seemed a big portion of the power consumption is on the background application (4% per hour) vs. turning the pages (2% per hour).
