They're similar, but not quite the same. The light diffusion layer causes some loss of contrast and clarity compared to a naked screen. While I personally find the layer to be worth the tradeoff, a naked eink screen is much better in perfect lighting (bright outdoor light). In anything less that perfect lighting the frontlight improves the reading experience tremendously and I seriously doubt you'd find yourself turning it off. I can hardly stand to read indoors using my non-lit eink reader anymore.
