That's a shame. That's why the orig nook's battery life never once bothered me. Once a week I charge it up. I have no idea what all the complaining was about.
You know, I think it's psychological. Our phones, iPods, computers, are all tech devices, and we EXPECT them to need power regularly. Most of us are old enough to be grateful that we are not constantly tethered to a wall plug any more.

But our ereaders are our books! We toss books in our packs and bags and expect them to be usable when we want them.
We don't expect to have to charge our books.
