Cpl, did you base that on the first charge cycle you did on your NC? If not, that sounds way too low. How far down did you run it?

I leave WiFi off on mine most of the time, and have brightness set pretty low (about 20%), and am getting a pretty solid 8 hours of reading on a charge (99% down to 10%). If I kept it in Sleep mode, it would take about 12 days to deplete to 10% from a full charge.

Some continuous reading spot checks (from 99% at t0):
= 90% at 1h03
= 78% at 2h16
= 70% at 3h10
= 66% at 3h36

= 60% after Sleeping it for 19 hours

Just another data point.
