Then you haven't experienced the Invisible Shield eReader screen protectors. But that's OK - but please don't lump Zagg's products in with the crapola that others offer.
Zagg's Invisible Shield screen protectors actually IMPROVE readability of my eReaders.

I've used both zagg and BSE on my electronics (I usually go through a couple smartphones a year), and they're made of the same exact material. Zagg is overpriced marketing bs--like buying Monster brand cables vs monoprice.com cables. Any time you add an extra optical/air interface, you decrease quality, I don't care how good the screen protector is. Which is why I do not use, and do not recommend, they be used for eBook readers. The worst thing they add is glare. Second, they detract from the clarity, and lastly, it can and often does affect the contrast.
Let me ask you this: how do zagg's "e-reader protectors" differ from their, say, iPad protector? I've always understood it's the same material cut to different sizes. Don't knock BSE by calling it "crapola" until you've tried it.
*ETA*...thinking it over, it's probably not fair for me to knock contrast with screen protectors, after all lots of laptops add a gloss on their screens to *enhance* contrast...at the expense of horrible glare. But I still stand by my thesis that screen protectors on kindles aren't worth the concomitant degradation in image quality and reading experience. For other small electronics where you interface with the screen more often, yes, they're worth it.
