Like you, I leave mine on Sleep, because it seems to use quite a lot less power than rebooting from Off every day.

I find it interesting that you say that using Sleep mode uses less power overall than rebooting each read. It had me wondering too.
I have been struck by the extremely impressive battery performance of my wife's Sony PRS-T1 (Japanese firmware). She has been using it for 3 months, with relatively light use (started the second book recently). But during those 3 months it has only needed to be charged 3 times! Or is that 2? It's so rare I forget.
And what surprised me about the Sony PRS-T1 is that you can't change the sleep/power settings. It has fixed settings.
1. Go to sleep after 30 mins
2. Power Off after
3 days!
That almost suggests Sony's engineers know just what you suspect @Peakcrew.
