Personally I read without the frontlight during the day/in well-lit rooms.
If you want read from a glowing screen you might as well use a smartphone or tablet. (I understand the technology is different, but still.)
Genuinely curious to hear from some people reading with the frontlight on at all times!

It depends entirely on your eyesight. I usually leave my Glo HD around 70% and it's comfortable for me, but I don't think the Glo HDs are near as bright as what others have described on newer readers. In daylight I could put it lower, but I usually don't want to bother changing the light back and forth constantly. It adds more contrast to the text for me and my crappy eyesight even in daylight. Eink screens have a grayish background to me without the light on.
As already said, the backlight from phones and tablets is entirely different and much worse for your eyes than the comfortable front light on eink screens.
We all have different wants from a reader and different eyesight and different preferences.
