Well, I want my reading experience be enjoyable, not merely good enough. Given that I've paid much more for any one of my ereaders than any paper book I've ever bought, I want the screen to look like it's worth the money.
An unlit eink screen just looks ugly, imho much uglier than an average paperback. I didn't cough up hundreds of euros to stare at an ugly screen.
YMMV, of course.
