Completely turned off is when it's not in sleep mode. When it's not slowly draining the battery while it's not used. It helps keep the batter in good condition longer. If you know you are not using your Reader for at least a few days, you can power it off to conserve the battery. Sony Readers had a feature that if it wasn't used after 3-days, it turned off. If you have multiple Kindles, one of them is most likely not going to be used and most likely has a dead battery. If it was able to be turned off, the battery would not be dead which is not good for the battery. If you don't use your Kindle for days, it slowly drains. That means more charging when you could have turned it off. It means your battery will last a lot longer then it does only being in sleep when not being used for some time.
