I spent time with the Paperwhite reading in bed last night. It is much better than the Touch in terms of light spilling over the room. The lighting is muted - my wife certainly likes it a lot more. The odd thing is every time it does a refresh (when it flashes black) it's annoying (kind of like someone flipping on and off the light switch in the room) - you don't notice the screen refresh with the Touch's integrated light on the case. I changed the refresh rate to every 6th page and it's much better except when reading a book/manual with a lot of images. I was reading a computer book with a lot of images and the flashing was pretty random. The flashing doesn't bother me - I'm speaking from someone sharing your bed trying to sleep. Again, it's still better than the Touch.
The shadowing on the bottom is more noticeable on a blank page. On a page with a lot of text it disappears.
