I have a Hisense A5ProCC as well as an Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color. Practically speaking, it is necessary to use the frontlight on both devices as their screens are otherwise quite dark.
If you were outside in direct sunlight or in a very bright room, you could probably get by without using the frontlight. But apart from that scenario, with the technology as it currently stands, the frontlight is necessary.
