Coming from the PDA and PocketPC world the first thing one does before the battery is even charged is to slap on the plastic covering. There are lots of discussions about how the substrate (did I say that right) can break as well as the top plastic covering but nothing about scratches. One might think having a stylus makes this even more of a concern. I suppose there isn't a covering the size of the screen. The companies that make screen covers could probably clean up with the cost because of the screen size.

Does anyone worry about the unprotected plastic or is this really a none issue? My eReader has not arrived yet. I am assuming it is plastic rather than glass from everything I have read.
