To me, the main benefit of a flexible screen is that it does not require a rigid case. You can make it light and slim, and thus easy to hold for extended periods. I have a PocketBook 902, a 10" screen device with a rigid case. Reading on it for longer periods is very difficult, because my hands start to cramp. It's not just the weight, but the large dimensions, which means the device is always trying to twist in your hands and you have to pinch with your fingers to keep it in place. Personally, I would choose less weight over the front light.
