I've used ereaders without a frontlight and ereaders with a frontlight. I now use the frontlight pretty much all the time even in brightly lit areas such a bench outside while having lunch. I have heard some people complain about battery life but considering how often I connect to my computer, that's not a real concern to me.
Another use for the frontlight has been during a couple of power outages where it has been used to light my way to the flashlight collection. My phone is often sitting on it's charger which makes it less than useful in those conditions while I generally read for a while before going to sleep so the ereader is conveniently at hand.
