On the practical side I'm totally with Diap; if the batterys last more than a month, i don't care if one can last 1 week more...
Now, regarding the OP and the rest:
Of course the idle state consumes battery; if it wasn't the case, you could full charge your Kindle and turn it on 1 year later with full charge (which wouldn't happen); there are many ways in which a powered device can loose power/energy.
Specially, a lot have to do with electronic components (magnetic fields and etc)
