I really wanted to like this. My dad likes screen protectors on everything he can use them with and because of his vision problem I've gotten pretty good at applying them. So I thought this would be easy to install on my Kindle Paperwhite.It wasn't.On the plus side, it does fit the Paperwhite perfectly. The texture is wonderful, almost like satin and very clear.On the minus side? After carefully cleaning the screen and using the dust lifting tape- the first protector went on with a bunch of tiny bubbles. So I tried to smooth them out following the instructions, then using a credit card. I got out about half of them, but the rest wouldn't come out and made small shadowy looking areas on my display. I pulled it up and was trying to carefully place it back down with less bubbles and the adhesive grabbed a bit of nail polish off my fingernails.So I tossed that one, removed my nail polish and tried again. Same thing, air bubbles that wouldn't smooth out. Even some of the ones close to the edge didn't want to come out. I tried to get them out for about 20 minutes and decided it was just more hassle than it was worth.I wish it had worked, the texture is fantastic, and I turned on my Kindle and it did look fairly clear. But the bubbles look slightly shadowed and would have been a distraction to a smooth reading experience.
