I'm vigilant about keeping wifi off, rarely use the light, use a small size font and minimal margins, read for 4-6 hours per day ( but not as fast as RWTS!). Under those conditions, I'll get at least 10 days reading from the Pocketbook with the same size screen.

Ha! I don't read that fast.
My primary interest lately has been short, fast detective novels. The type of book I can read over the course of one or two evenings. On nights I read, I'm probably using the Nook for 3-4 hours at a time. I usually charge it every four books or so, so your experience doesn't seem too far off from mine, except I always have the light turned on.
B&N states the charge lasts for up to 4 weeks, with 30 minutes of reading per day with 10% lighting and Wi-fi disabled. If my math is any good that is about 15 hours. Our experiences appear to be in line with those figures. Seems like the Nook's battery just isn't a fit for you. Sorry it didn't work out.
