Okay well experiment complete. I downloaded a new book, turned on airplane mode, went to the first page, charged the nook up to the gills, then started reading with no use of the LCD screen (except for the 10-second flicker-on when you bring the device out of sleep).

So at the start the battery level was 100%. 48 hours later as I had finished the book (about 650 pages in the small font) the battery level was 8% (I got the low batter warning about a chapter before the end). I think the odds are overwhelming that this is an implementation issue that can be fixed, just like Polly said was done with the Astak, so I am really looking forward to that.
