I went on a trip last weeked and my battery died! I actually felt pretty stupid. It sorta reminded me of the time my boss ran out of gas in her Prius.
But no, I don't turn the Kindle off (as in OFF-off) but I do tend to put it in sleep mode. I'm no battery-ologist, but I seem to recall that one of the innovations of the eReader screens is that power is not drained - or is drained quite minimally - when the screen is static. It's the refreshes (as in, page-turns or switching screensaver images) that uses up the power. So yeah, I guess if you're not flipping pages then you're using less battery.
