I still reach for my non-lighted eReaders when I am going to be traveling and risk losing my device... they are "cheaper" and generally I am only reading outdoors/in full natural light or on a plane with a light overhead, so the frontlight is not generally required. I only recently got my first lit eReader but find it is very handy to keep at my bedside table for reading at night... although I do find the screens a little TOO bright at times, even on the lower settings! I believe my Paperwhite 2 is the bigger culprit of this, but hubby seems to manage sleeping through it (if I face it away from him of course!).
