This is THE way to go. As soon as the ereader starts to look illuminated, then your front-light is set too high (IMHO).
I have read many a time for multiple hours, on a Paperwhite, and I experience no problems. Believe me, with my poor eyesight and close reading distance (I use glasses when using a computer, but I don't like that when reading, for some reason), I would have noticed any problems within the first hour.
As long as there is any ambient light, no matter how low, you can set the front-light to a level that will make reading comfortable. The only situation in which I don't like to read, not even on a front-lit reader, is when it's pitch black. The reader will not look any different from an LCD screen in that situation. This is an extreme situation however: this would only happen in my bedroom or computer room with all shutters and curtains closed and all lights off. Obviously, I won't create such a situation on purpose and then go read. That'd be ridiculous.
