You know that when you finish reading, you are not touching the device for another 23ish hours, so having it power off quickly should achieve the best overall battery life.
The only way I can see 24 hours + 1 minute as a useful power off time is if you know that when you miss the reading session, you will probably miss the next, or next few. That might make sense as it means the device wakes quickly for your "normal" session, but powers off if something prevents you from reading each day.

Yeah, i know about the 24hours + 1 minutes might not be enough. But even if i configure my reader to power off after those 24h+1m, the moment i close the smart cover, that setting gets disregarded and the reader decides to shut itself down at any moment in time. So even if i pick it up the next morning, it will have already been powered off. When reading about this feature and looking at a discussion on github about it, it seems that the smart cover tends to cause this effect.
