I tend to think no, because it murders the battery life (<2hrs, according to The Chinese Guy ) and requires some cutting up of the case. The price is also insane.
Nevertheless, I'm curious to try it out because the original screen really is unusable in almost any lighting conditions.

Is there anyplace you can get one in North America?

I don't have a WonderSwan but from what I have seen those backlit screen upgrades are really worth it in general if you play a certain handheld a lot. Screens on retro handhelds are universally terrible, and the improvement is huge. For someone serious about retro games that prefers playing on real hardware, it's a no brainer to want the best experience possible. Even if it's expensive, it's a one time investment.
Google was not much help, got a link to where you can buy them so I can have a look?

    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
