You can do your own experiment. See how long the battery lasts if you turn it off every time and then see how long it lasts by putting it to sleep.
that has flaws Daffy, as it is the page turns (as well as whispernet downloads) that are the real battery drains. you would have to do absolutely nothing else with the test kindles during that period of time.
