Yes Airplane Mode on and WiFi off are necessary to really keep the drain down. I wish B&N had just told us that from the start. Because of this issue (my battery drained almost immediately), they have me on the list for a "Rapid Return" and claim they are sending me a new nook. I don't want it! Now that I've gotten the software upgrade and know to keep the nook on Airplane mode, I am beyond pleased with it. I don't want to risk getting a new one. But their Tech Support dept seems to be so overwhelmed I doubt I will get through to change the course of this.
