But WHY?

The new PRS-350/650/950 screens are anti-glare, and are made out of an incredibly hard mineral glass.

That and the fact that the IR touch screen requires ZERO pressure, means that if you don't use your diamond engagement ring, or a sand blaster to change pages, then scratches shouldn't be a problem.

These thin film protectors give NO added impact resistance, and can actually give a a foolish false sense of security, leading ultimately to a CRACKED SCREEN

Worthless as far as I can tell. Worse than worthless, in fact, because you can destroy your screen by applying too much pressure trying to work out all those pesky bubbles when installing the thing.

These so-called 'screen protectors' may have some value on other devices, but on the PRS-350/650/950 readers, they are just flat out A BAD IDEA.
