The last time this abrupt power off happened to me it also caused a storage error and I had to do a factory reset and re-download and side load my books and update back to 1.9.5.
I believe that that MAY be the known bug mentioned in the 1.9.5 release notes...

I'll admit to only doing a partial top up on mine the first day OOB as I wanted to use and couldn't wait for it to charge any longer. (Was using USB port on nb so it was taking FOREVER...) And then let it do a "full" charge overnight that night. Since then I've had it hooked up to the PC only a few times, and still had the meter looking to be about 2/3 full, reading stats say 32h read, and I've finished 3.5 books. I also had WiFi on a few times, possibly as much as an hour total.

This already is WAY WAY WAY better than my WiFi EVER got, and I let that do a full charge OOB.

Did a charge this morning using my Nook Color's adapter(1A/5V) but it went to indicating a "full" charge in a suspiciously short amount of time. Time to guinea pig it I guess later.
