No one claims the Kindle gets 500 hours of battery life while reading it. "Two weeks between charges" doesn't mean 2 weeks of 24x7 reading. It can go to a max of a couple of weeks between charges if not used / used lightly, just like the Nook can manage a max of about a week in the same circumstances with airplane mode on.

You've seriously bad problem with your nook or your nook battery. I don't know why you won't believe it. Instead you just keep threadcrapping in Nook threads that it has no battery life.
Funny how some posters write anything except how many reading hours they get on one charge!. Makes you wonder if B&N doesn't employ people to troll forums .... it's actually a very cost effective marketing method. My instructions to such employees would be, don't tell outright lies, but sidetrack negative issues and make personal attacks on posters who bring up such issues.

PS
Kindle 2 owners seem to claim a 24-30 hour reading on 1 charge.

PPS
As your family has both why not just post how many reading hours you get on each device?
