Ditto.
It isn't clear exactly why, but some units seem to benefit from powering the device off when not in use, while others don't.
Personally I get approximately double the number of page turns by powering down between reading sessions. I also get piece of mind knowing the Kobo's buttons won't get accidentally triggered while I carry it around in my bag, and that my battery's charge isn't slowly draining away.
Some people complain that the unit takes too long to power up again, but honestly what difference does 30 seconds make to an hour long reading session?
But I would say: if you feel you get enough charge from your battery without turning the unit off, then don't stress it. On the other hand, if you feel your battery is draining too fast then it certainly won't hurt to power the unit off when you're not using it.
