If I was asked this question before I got my paperwhite I would have thought that it wouldn't matter that much. My thinking was that it would be nice but that you could easily just turn on a light.
Now that I have it, I don't think I would get one without. With my paperwhite I never adjust the light, it is always on a very low setting, I found that the light just assists with making sure the text is always clear. In and out of shade, or having the sun go down, no problem just keep reading.
