In General Terms, having read a lot of electronics reviews, when you have ONE figure for battery life the manufacturer of the device has likely turned off one or more heavy consumption things (like Wi-Fi) to conduct their tests, and did not have the screen brightness at 100%

Also there are many threads out on the web for what you can expect your battery to deliver down the road. I tend to go with I will get only 80% in twenty-four months (may be a bit pessimistic). So for the Nook Color I assume that I am looking at 6 1/2 hours of reading use, no Wi-Fi, at 50% brightness, two years from now.

I am computing 448grams versus the iPad's 680grams so I am intrigued by this new product.
