I've got a Kindle PaperWhite and a Kobo Glo; I wouldn't contemplate buying either kind without the light option now.
There's two main occasions when the light comes in so useful.
1) It's great to be able to read in bed with the main light off.
2) If you're travelling, it seems to happen frequently that the surrounding light just isn't strong enough or is pointing in the wrong direction.
My only comment would be that I'd like the lightest light option on both to be lighter. But that really is nitpicking.
