The application for these screen protectors is now and has always been a bit of an art. Your two major enemies are dust and finger grease (clean the screen well!). Your ally is scotch tape and a plan of attack. To get this thing installed right you need to avoid touching the side that adheres to the screen. I do this by rolling little scotch tape rings that I stick to the front of the protector. I use them to hold on to it without touching it. To get the edges lined up more easily, I stick the longest side on first, just the very edge of the protector, no more than a millimeter, and make sure its centered. Sometimes it takes twenty times to get the protector lined up just right, but since you're only sticking the very edge on, it's easy to remove and retry and in the end it is worth the trouble. Once you are satisfied with the way the protector is lined up, slowly SLOWLY proceed to stick the protector to the screen, try to remove any bubbles as they appear. If a bubble is really stubborn, take a close look at it. Can you see a little piece of dust or debris in the center of the bubble? If so, peel back the protector to expose the offending debris and use another tiny roll of tape, sticky side out, to dab the surface of the screen and/or the adhesive side of the protector to remove the dust particle. Then continue to apply the protector. The tape comes off with a slow controlled pull when you're done. That's all there is to it, just be patient and use some tape to remove offending dust and to keep your fingers off the sticky side of the protector. With patience and clever tape use you'll get these covers on and they'll look perfectly bubble free. They don't have any more glare than the screen itself so I don't think that's a big deal, at least they don't make it worse. Good luck, I hope this helped.

P.S. If you you were too hasty during application and have bubbles already, there is hope. You can stick a piece of tape to the corner of the protector and peel the protector away from the screen to where the bubbles are. Use some tape to remove the dust just like I described above. Then just lay the protector back down and remove the tape from the corner. If you touched the adhesive side though, you're out of luck. There is no fix for that. But now you know how to apply the protector correctly.

This screen protector may indeed protect the screen (I had no scratches before and none now, so how would I know?) but it definitely does *not* reduce screen glare nor is it any less susceptible to finger prints.

Application without leaving spots (air bubbles) is not possible.

The "Anti-Glare" should be removed from the name and description.

A big "meh" all around.

I bought this to protect my new nook. I have to say that the film for the larger screen was harder to install than I thought. My main piece of advice is to make sure that the reading screen is super clean before you install the protector. It is almost impossible to clean lint off of the sticky part and when you lift it off unless you are super careful it will leave a little kink in the film and it won't stick in that spot. As you can probably tell I am going to have to get another one. The smaller film for the touch screen was a lot easier to get on and went on nicely. If this happens to you you can buy just the film for the reading screen by getting the screen protector for the Kindle 2. I hope you have better luck than I did...

It was impossible to apply without lint under the screen. It has terrible glare. I had to remove it, it was impossible to read with it on my nook's screen.

Quick and to the point: Don't bother, unless you want a shiny, reflective, glossy surface on your e-reader. If you want something that is invisible, applies well, and has a truly matte coating on it, then choose either the official screen protector from B&N, or choose the M-Edge version which has more in one package and presents a slightly better value.

This one is only good for protecting your screen. It does nothing for the usability or readability, though.

Avoid and spring for the better quality. Seriously... You won't get much use out of this. It may be great for LCD, but this material is terrible on e-ink.
