Just got an iPad Monday. Should I let the battery run down before charging in or can I top it off each night? Which way will make it last longer and hold its charge longer down the road?

Wow, I can go all weekend for the most part (day and night). Granted, that's not continuous use, but picking it up all the time and checking mail and such. Playing games. I do have my brightness set to zero--which seems to start at 50% for some reason. But so far, my battery has been stellar.I get two evenings easy from one charge, if it's above 60% I go another day.
Another factoid I've read about LiIon batteries is they lose approx 10% capacity per year, whether you use them daily or they are sitting in a package on a store shelf.
i.e., the battery that lasts 10 hours new will only last 9 hours a year later, and so on.
