This is primarily opinion-based so it could be an endless debate, but for me, both are bad.
Nothing replaces the smooth diffused light created by a bedside lamp with a lampshade when you want to read at night.
If the only light in the room comes from a 200 cm² LED-lighted device it creates a discontinuous lighting: the device is lighted and nothing else in the room.
I find it worse than the light created by a diffused light.
Endless debate anyway.

The light bulbs are also LED. The thing is, in the photo you posted, the light it set much too high. That is not good. I set my H2O to 4 or 5 most of the time and that works. Now if I am in bed reading and my wife is resting or sleeping, having a light on so I can read is going to bother her. Using my front light means I can read and she's not bothered.
If you are reading and the lights go out due to a power cut, you cannot continue reading. I can because I have my front light.
I agree that you like an outside light better then the front light. But that doesn't work in all cases. Disconnecting the front light (IMHO) is really a very bad idea. You are forcing others to not be able to use the front light when they obviously use it. All because you cannot be bothered to swipe down to turn off the light. I think that's very mean and selfish. The solution would be to get the others in your home a Kobo of their own and then you won't even have to put up with a front light.
