I keep WiFi off for the simple reason that I have absolutely no use for it. I transfer all my books using USB, and I never use the web browser. Why would I want to have WiFi switched on?
As far as the half an hour a day goes, there's no "assuming" involved. It's what Amazon clearly state in their battery life specification: 8 weeks at half an hour a day; that's 56 x 0.5h = 28h.
