It is a good idea to power down occasionally.
As someone else already pointed out, these devices are computers. Most run a version of Linux. And almost all computer operating systems eventually build up crud in memory. (Some are worse than others, Linux is pretty good.)

Turning it off is like a "restart" on a computer and will fix any memory leaks. I use to have Kindle problems every couple of weeks if I didn't turn it off now and then. (Now I have no Kindle problems because my mom has my Kindle.)
