I just looked at the manual and it says "With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned on, your NOOKcolor has enough power to last in a suspended "sleeping" state for many days. With a fully charged battery and with Wi-Fi turned off, your NOOKcolor has enough power to last in a suspended state for several weeks."

I never really tested the difference with Wi-Fi on or off while suspended, never noticed any difference over short periods of time, which brings another possibility, that the amount it draws slows down the longer it's suspended.

Personally, I've found the advertised battery life of 8 hours to be pretty darn close to what I get, so I cannot imagine that they'd be far off in regards to how long it can stay in a suspended mode.
