Cleaning the screen
I don't know much about the screen on the Kobo and I wanted to know what is the recommended method for cleaning it. I'm guessing a microfiber cloth?

Thanks.

Yes, a microfibre cloth is a very good way to clean the screen.

The same sort of microfiber cloth you'd use to clean glasses.

I use lens cleaner on both the Kobo and my LCD screen. Just spray it on and wipe clean with a paper towel.

I found a store that was selling a combo microfiber cloth and a non-alchohal spray for LCD/Plasma TV's.

You risk having cleaner drip into the Kobo if you spray the screen, and the paper may scratch the screen; I've scratched an LCD screen with a cheap off-brand J-Cloth.

I recommend spraying onto the micro-fiber cloth, although often the micro-fiber cloth works better dry to pick up finger prints.

Yep, and paper towel is probably the most abrasive of any wipe you could use. Better to use your shirt-tail than a paper towel.

Even a normal cotton bath towel works fine.

I found a great microfiber cloth for my Kindle via a review from: http://www.e-reader-info.com/cloth-a...-kindle-review. If you do a google search on Cloth Addiction a lot of good reviews on the product pop up. I'm very, very pleased.
