Just want to complete my saga of woe. As I mentioned above, after the latest recharging -to 100% -of my Touch, after letting it sleep for one night it was down to 88%. Just for laughs, to see what would happen, I decided to wait a few days before arranging a return to B&N. So I checked after another night - down to 48%. After 2 more nights, it got down to 18%, if you can believe it. This is with no use, no wifi, no nothing. So, when it is misbehaving there is no mistaking it!

I mailed it to B&N yesterday. You print a prepaid UPS shipping label. You then have to package it yourself. They ship the replacement to you even before receiving your returned one, which is nice. In fact, you could actually wait to get the new one before returning the old (you have 14 days to return the old one). Not too bad.

Hope the replacement doesn't have other problems (I won't even think about it having the same one!). We shall see...
