Average Battery Life

[foobster]

I'm planning on picking up a NST and have had a difficult time finding accounts of what the battery life is like with different usage patterns. I'm particularly interested in writing with an external keyboard but I think it would be a good reference to have a thread where people shared how many hours the battery lasts for depending on what they're doing with it. Has anybody done any sort of benchmarks with full cpu usage or anything like that?

The basic rule is that the Nook has a very long battery life unless it doesn't.
The thing that really kills it currently (so to speak) is using USB host mode.

There is a thread on current drain.
