Can I ask please for opinions on screen protectors? Are they necessary? helpful? a pain in the bum?
I know they're not going to save the screen from breaking under impact, and they won't stay cleaner or be easier to clean than the unit's own glass ... so is there any point?
Thanks for your thoughts.

I don't think there's any point. The KT's screen is matte, and doesn't pick up finger prints. Keeping mine in a case, I've never felt the need to actually clean it. It never picks up anything but a bit of dust or lint, which can easily be blown off or wiped off with your hand.
And, as you said, it's not going to keep the screen from breaking. Ereader screens are rather delicate, and if you aren't keeping it in a case you're asking for trouble. If you ARE keeping it in a case, then it's protected from scratches anyway.
So... no point, as far as I'm concerned.
