Don't know how much power it's using, but sure it consumes way less power than it uses to turn on. Booting the kernel is very power consuming. I leave the device always on, and the power % doesn't change when turning pages after 10 hours of non use. I can loose 2-4% charge if I power it off an then on.

Don't know which idling implementation OI devs use, but it's very efficient.

So I don't see a point to turn it off as the screen doesn't burn or somthing similar
