It does not go "off" unless the battery gets drained. One of their developers clarified the behavior in another thread, but the manual is either wrong or misleading.

When you flick the switch it goes into standby. If you don't flick the switch and just leave it alone, after a certain amount of time it goes into standby. If you press and hold the switch it will reboot. The device never completely turns off unless the battery runs low.

Standby should let it last for weeks (2 in my case, so far). There definitely seems to be something wrong if yours drained in 4 days, assuming it really was 100% charged when you started.
