I didn't apply a screen protector right away either as there wasn't one initially available when I got mine. However, I have one on now which will hopefully save it going forward.

One user mentioned applying the screen protector in the bathroom after having run the shower for a while. Apparently the humidity can help to reduce the amount of dust circulating in the air. I didn't do that, but next time I will definitely give it a try.

The stylus can be very handy even if you do not intend to write a lot. For example, when I am reading in Chinese and attempt to select a character to look up in the dictionary, it will often select several characters. It can be next to impossible to select the individual character I am interested in using just my finger. When I use the stylus, it is very easy to do.

You could try approaching a professional operation such as Mobile Outfitters to see what they would charge to apply your screen protector since you already have it. It might be a very minimal charge.

Or since you already have it. you have nothing to lose, apart from a bit of time, by attempting to apply it yourself. It will either be satisfactory or it won't. If it isn't, you simply take it off. No harm done.

I would definitely hold onto the stylus whether or not you intend to use it much. Having options is better than not having them.

Personally, I would also be inclined to have a screen protector installed on the device even if I weren't intending to use the stylus much as it appears that the surface is more susceptible to scratching than glass surfaces.

I have never used a spray on any of my other readers or tablets. I find one of those micro fibre cloths is usually sufficient. I would be very careful about applying any chemical solution to a plastic screen.
