Yes, if you're leaving it for a few weeks, better turn it off, but there's no point turning it off everyday , or even 3x per day as some user has said. I always had wi-fi off, never used it at all, I used the computer to transfer my stuff.
Now bear in mind, if your kindle is 3G also takes battery.
The 20 seconds is more used to unfreeze, reset the kindle.

Yes, there is a lot of misinformation and lack of understanding about the Kindle's power states. It's very easy and understandable to be misled.
All you need to do is test it yourself.
It only takes about ten seconds total.
Turn it "off" with the 7 second slide, then slide it again to turn it back on. You will not see a boot up, but an immediate wake up.
You can also search the threads here in the Kindle forum, or you can spend hours like I did last year reading about the Kindle 's power management.
You'll find that what is commonly called "off" is just a deeper suspend/hibernate state than the usual sleep. It uses less power than sleep, and does not equate to "a full shutdown and boot."
(Yes, I own 2 Kindles, actually.)
