Good luck with your new reader!
I finally caved this year and bought a B&N Glow (had stuck with Sony readers up until them) because I wanted a front-light. I would have said before I got the Glow that the light was unnecessary. But now that I have it, I wouldn't want to go back to one without one.
I think the most unexpected benefit is when I'm reading at home with only a lamp or two on in the room. Before, the less-than-optimal lighting wouldn't have been bad enough to make me clip on a book light, but I would have strained to read the screen. Now I turn on the Glow light and I have bright, crisp words to read.
Also, the front light makes the eInk screen look much whiter - so the contrast is better.
