If your device connects to the internet, then it is possible that it can sync while it is in stand-by mode and possibly use a bit of battery, but not a lot.

If your device does not connect to the internet, or the wifi is turned off, then the device is using so little battery, you won't notice unless you have kept it on standby for a long time (months).

I would say it's ok to leave it in stand-by, even if you have WiFi on. Its a lot faster to start reading that book you put down at 3:00AM.

The only reason I can see a need for turning it off is if you plan on putting it away for months, or what Ed said, if you need to open up the device.
