We have already done a survey in these forums, the highest number of reading hours anyone has claimed is 20 hours (with everything but reading off) the lowest number of hours on one charge was claimed at 2.5 hours using wifi constantly. Most claimed 8-12 hours of reading time. Most sane people don't claim the battery life of any device as the time it takes the battery to go flat when not being used.
As to your claim that my battery is faulty, well in that case 50% of Nook owners have faulty batteries so a good reason not to buy a Nook.
Look at the poll results, in a Nook dedicated forum, 34% have voted for the Kindle 3, that suggests to me 34% of Nook owners are dissatisfied with their Nook and would prefer to own a Kindle. Quite an astounding vote really. I wonder what would happen if Amazon offered to exchange your old Nook for a new Kindle 3 at no charge?

Just a FWIW here; my Nook needed a charge every 3 to 4 days or so with wireless off. Even when not used that touch screen waiting to wake up was eating battery. My K3 arrived on the 27th, it's been charged once when it arrived and it still has 60% of its first battery charge left. Sure, I've only loaded a couple of books so the prerequisite indexing hasn't eaten much but still, impressive is an understatement.
Oh, and during this time I've used the lighted cover for at least 3 or 4 hours.
For those that can't be bothered to count, that means I'm on day 8 now.
