Accessories Kindle PW2 Screen Protector

Dave329 · 12-04-2014, 08:32 AM

Is it necessary to apply a screen protector to the PW2?

I will definitely buy the leather covers available for it .

But are screen protectors necessary??

I am afraid it will decrease contrast or increase glare.

I am also not great at installing screen protectors and end up ruining them.

But if the screens are scratch prone I will have to install them.

I read the outer layer of the screen is plastic and scratches become noticable with the light on.

I've never had a screen protector on an e-ink reader. I use them for tablets but not ereaders, not even the Voyage and that has a glass screen.

I've had kindles and other makes of readers since 2007

Totally unnecessary, in my experience, especially if you're keeping it in a case. I've never used one, and never had a scratched screen.
