If you don't mind my asking, how much were you reading on it a day? And did you have the light turned on?
For comparison, most of the novels I read tend to be in the 250-350 page range. I usually read a book in one evening, two at the most. I always have the light on and use a font size closer to the middle, which increases page turns. I charge my Nook about every four books. When I'm on a roll and knocking them out, I need to charge it every four days or so. But I don't read every night and I'm not someone who reads a few pages here and there throughout the day.
I began with a Simple Touch, moved to the GlowLight 3 and then upgraded to the GlowLight Plus. I've loved all three devices, but will say the Plus has the shortest battery life. My guess is the larger screen drains it quicker.
