I've never turned off my iPad, which I have had since April 2010.

Never. Not my iPad1 (4/1/10) or iPad2 (4/15/11) since I got them.

I turn it off every time I get on a plane. (Well, almost every time. Ssshh...)
I've also been in a couple of situations during all-day travel where I've turned it off for a few hours to save some battery juice. But yeah, I don't think I turned it off for the first few months I had it. |

I've only turned off my ipad about 5 times in the last year. Does it make much of a difference? I do often double click the home button, to clear out some of the apps I've not used in days.

I need to reboot mine now. One page of icons are all screwed up and not all visible on the screen. Very odd.

I usually only do a hard reboot on these types of electronics when it needs to be done, like if it's running slower it usually solves the problem.

Won't it take more energy to boot up again than you'll save by not having it in sleep-mode for half-a-day or however long?
