You can increase and decrease the light on the stock paperwhite. There are 24 light settings to play with. It gets bright enough to light a dark hallway. You just can't turn it off...

I've had my PaperWhite for a week. I notice the difference. The white "paper" of the screen is noticably brighter with the light on than off. In daylight I prefer it the dimmer more muted off white of off like it is when the sleep screens are engaged.
