I voted frontlit because while my main reader is an iPad, I have a Kobo Aura One that I use mostly for backpacking. Since I generally read for a bit in the tent at night, I can use it without having to have to use my flashlight. I haven't noticed any quality issues with it so far. I also use it for reading in the sunlight, but one doesn't need a frontlite for that.
