yes battery life on LCD's compared to eink is dismal. but as far as an LCD screen goes, the nook color is pretty solid. I usually go about 4 days before having to charge. (that's reading with wifi off and no game playing, just reading) Less when I'm web surfing, playing youtube videos and of course playing Angry Birds (Yes you can do that on the nook color, LOL) etc. but still for an LCD device it's not too shabby.
Hmmm not sure where you might have heard the screen itself is a con. The LCD screen used by the nook color has been Universally hailed as gorgous, which it is. It's a beatiful IPS screen where the colors and text are very sharp.
