I gave up on the SD card and went on vacation with the books on the internal storage. It was an 8 hour ride down on Thursday and the same 8 hour ride back on Friday. I read my nook the whole time and didn't take the charger with me because I thought the battery life would give me a good week or so.

When we left the house on Thursday, the battery was 100%. Reading only text novels -- no pictures -- the battery was at 13% when I got home the next day. I barely made it -- it was draining like crazy. What gives? The WiFi was off the entire time, and I don't keep the LCD screen on while reading. Is my nook battery a dud? I'm really shocked.
