>> ... here is no need for a screen protector for the Kobo ... All you are doing is wasting your money ...
I guess I'd better not post the fact that I also purchased a Square Trade warranty for my Kobo, covering accidental damage for three years ... You'd think I was a loon (grin).
I am happy that you are so careful with your eReaders that you have not ever scratched any of them "for years."
But then there's the rest of the world ... with kids ... briefcases ... accidental drops and scratches ... Ya gotta admit (well, maybe you won't) that accidents do occur. Especially if one carries their electronics outside the home a lot. And scartch just once a screen that you want to read every day - knowing that you could have protected it for a measley twenty bucks - seems like a "insurance bargain" to me.
I have a scratch right in the middle of my auto GPS' screen. I had taken it out of the car, and slid it into a briefcase to show a conference how to acquire maidenhead location data. When I opened my briefcase and whipped it out at the conference, it was scratched - a pen probably did the deed.
BUT - the scratch is on my screen protector, and NOT the item itself. But I am not replacing that particular protector. It's a "visual aid" to me every time I drive to take good care of my electronics items.
Long live Kobo.
