I've been trying to keep a tab on the NC battery life. My experience is:

- WiFi off, reading at ~ 20% brightness: battery drains at 11% per hour which means I get approx. 9 hrs per charge
- WiFi on, surfing the net ~ 20% brightness: battery drains at 13% per hour => 7.5 hrs per charge
- Sleep mode: no drain in battery at all

I also tested my co-worker's NC. Hers is a little better than mine. For reading at 20% brightness, her battery drains at 9.5% per hour so she is getting 10.5 hours per charge.

The battery life seems descent. At least I'm getting what is being advertized by B&N.
