astak pocket pro screen instability.
does anyone feel the screen kinda gives at times.

my left thumb ususally rests on the screen and at times there is sensation of the screen moving inwards with just a little pressure. Wish it is was firmer. Im under one year warranty.

not put your thumb on the screen perhaps? The border is pretty big :-)

The screen is steel solid compared to my LCD monitor
Finger contain oils.
Oils adhere dirt.
Dirt makes viewing difficult.
Cleaning dirt scratches screen.
Scratched screen makes viewing difficult.

Smack that hand (while it is away from the screen), the next time it sticks it's thumb on the screen :P

Flexibility in the screen is better than being too brittle.

Dear Oncdoc:

You have one year parts and labor warranty with all Astak eBook Readers.

Screens are made to be slightly flexible so they do not crack when there is a twisting motion. I think what you are experiencing sounds very normal and is not a worry. The glass and the e-ink are placed into the body using some rubber to cushion the screen.

However, the screen is not a touch screen so why dirty up the screen with fingerprints? If the screen is working fine and not cracked... be happy that there is some give there.

I would say "relax and enjoy"!

Dear Nimblem:

I know from my days selling POS terminals that 3M makes glare free screen protectors. I do not know if they make them this small. Hopefully somebody else will know!

Dear Nimblem:

Amazon sells Kindle Clear-Touch Anti-Glare Screen Protectors for $12.95. These should fit the 6 inch screen on the EZ Reader Basic and I would think could easily be cut to size for the Pocket PRO!

I just got one from Zagg when they had their recent 50% off sale. It is a great screen protector that fits perfectly and made for the Astak Pro 5", but really isn't antiglare.
