I let mine sleep... because poweroff after an hour is annoying (the default max setting aside from never?)
There is no option to power off after a week of standby... if there was I would use it.
That's what you'd need in case - you get busy with other stuff, don't use it for a long while, and forget to turn off the reader yourself.
In standby mode sooner or later the device will run out of battery entirely and die. That's not good for the battery for one thing and the reader won't be ready to use when you pick it up again for another, it takes hours charging first (ofc you can read with charger cable attached).
This isn't really a problem for me but my mother who also has a H2O but only uses it sporadically...
I'm considering writing a mod that powers off the device once battery levels drop below a certain threshold (e.g. 50%) but that, too, only works when the reader actually wakes from standby... not sure how often it wakes, it does manage to display a battery warning before running out entirely but...
