I finally bought a screen protector. I was a little nervous of wiping dust and such off the screen while I was reading it. Also, since I'm always reading the Kindle while eating (it's my traveling dinner companion), I've gotten a few small food splashes on it in the past.
I noticed Boxwave had a new screen protector available. I've purchased from them in the past and found them to work quite well. The only problem I've ever found with screen protectors is that they're a pain to apply - between the bubbles and dust. After a few minutes of fighting with it, though, it usually works out fine. In the case of the Kindle, the anti-glare protector didn't change the the screen at all; the screen looks just as good as it did before.
Here's the item I'm using: ClearTouch™ Anti-Glare - Amazon Kindle
