That test is scare mongering. Try it with a case and see how the screen does not scratch.

I do keep my readers in cases but they can't protect the screen while you have it open for reading.
The one time I had damage other than minor scratches to an ereader screen was when something fell on it from above while I was reading, so of course the case was open. This created a divot in the screen (about 1/8 inch) though the reader continued to be operable.
Also, being a klutz, I have occasionally dropped my readers while they were open for reading so I assume this is how they have acquired scratches on the screen.
So I can see why a fellow klutz might consider the possibility of a screen protector, though I haven't tried one myself and therefore can't comment on whether that is a good idea. I expect Mglitch is right about the issue with glass protectors on an ereader. (I do have one on my smartphone.)
