This topic has been discussed quite extensively for Kobo Touch. I've never conducted a controlled experiment or anything (too many uncontrollable variables), but in my experience, doing a full shut-down and starting up again seems to waste a lot of battery, unless you are not planning on using the device for a long time. Especially if you pick up your Kobo multiple times a day. What I do is put it to sleep and only power down at night when I go to bed, but I'm trying turning it off even less often, and will see how that goes.
Of course, this was mostly for the Touch, but there seems to be no evidence to suggest this will be any different for the Glo.
