The strength of the ereader (apart from the e-ink) is the fact you can read for hours before you need to charge it. If the Nook does not meet this criteria, I'll pass ...

actually the LCD screen goes to sleep after a preset of either 10sec, 30 or 1min.

If you have the wifi and 3G on and do alot of LCD screen usage I would say you would get about 3 days, if you power down at night.

Airplane mode (Wi Fi and 3G) with very little LCD screen usage, ie you are in a middle of a book and have no need to shop around etc, I get about 5 to 6 days without powering it down (leaving it in sleep mode)

I'm very happy with that.
