Another great choice for all-night reading sessions is the Nook HD from Barnes & Noble. The Nook HD has a very limited selection of apps and lacks a camera entirely, but delivers the best reading experience on a tablet and enough juice to keep you going long after your neighbors have turned off the lights. On the LAPTOP Battery Test, the Nook HD lasted exactly 9 hours, almost 2 hours longer than the category average.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a glaring omission…I believe either the international or Verizon version was averaging 10-11 hours of battery life.

That any of these do not have 20 hour battery life for 5 dollars extra extra built in is ridiculous you can put in 3 batteries like high capacity camera batteries each lasting 8 hours cost was 2.00 a battery triple or quade system should be standard 14 to 20 hour system I worked in electronics over 20 years

Notice how ASUS was completely left out of this. Some of their tablets go for even longer than the iPad.

Why didn’t they include the Asus Padfone?
Afterall, it CAN be a tablet and has up to 63 hours of battery life.
