I’m happy with this screen protector. I was a little bit skeptical after reading the reviews here but having bubbles on your kindle is more of your fault than this products’s. Having seen that being done before, I successfully applied the screen protector at my first try. I think I’ll post the instructions here so it can be helpful for those who’re having troubles using this product.
1. Use the cloth (shipped with this product) to clean the screen of any fingerprints.
2. Using a piece of scotch tape, tap on the screen to remove tiny particles. Those may not be visible but they’re the reason bubbles appear when you apply the protector. Make sure you tap everywhere on the screen
3. Peel off the red label and align the screen protector carefully with the top of your kindle. Use the hole as an anchor. Position it horizontally first, you’ll see there actually a tiny gap from the left/right edge of the screen to the left/right edge of the protector. Make the gap from the top edge of the screen to the top edge of the protector equal.
4. Use the white piece of plastic (shipped with this product) to slowly apply the protector to the screen. If you do step 2 well enough, there will be no bubbles at all. Peel off the lower part of the protector as you proceed and slowly apply.
If you mess up, remove the piece and try again from step 1.You have 3 tries. Just relax and do it slowly with care and you’ll be fine.
The protector is great, but don't start by applying it! It comes three in a package, but I had to toss the first one because it had no real instructions. So, first clean the screen with a liquid cleaner, very carefully and thoroughly. Second, after the screen is dry, and without touching the screen, go over the screen every which way with a lint roller or masking tape (it's amazing what's still on the screen after step one). Third, hold the screen under a good light, and turn it every which way to make sure it's clean. If it's not perfect, repeat steps one and two. Fourth, apply the screen protector. It can be re-positioned a bit to get it lined up perfectly, apply it very slowly, a little bit at a time. Doing this, I didn't even have air bubbles to remove, and now it's invisible. I only deducted the one star because I had to throw the first protector away due to lack of instructions.
These screen protectors look really nice if installed properly. It's made of thick material and has very nice clarity. I really love the way it looks.
However...
It does NOT come with what you need to install. You will need glass cleaner, a small squeegee, and microfiber cloth. All the packaging comes with is a cloth I suspect leaves more dust than it picks up, and a small piece of cardboard that's supposed to be a squeegee.
To install spray the sticky side with glass cleaner and apply to your kindle wet. Then use the squeegee to work out the fluid and air bubbles from between the Kindle and screen protector. If you find a small particle under the film simply lift the protector and use a corner of the squeegee, or cloth, to grab the particle, then spray the kindle and screen protector with more glass cleaner, and press it down again.
Using this method I was able to get a nice, clean install without having to sit in a vacuum sealed room nude.
I got it on without too many issues which is rare for me on these types of products. I think it was sheer luck though because I wasn't sure if I was applying it correctly or not. It's not noticeable and the screen has no scratches still so it did what I wanted in the end.
The screen protector fit perfectly with no bubbles on the first try. I'm an impatient person, so I just pretty much lined the protector up and slapped it on, and that's all it took! The touch sensitivity is exactly the same as it was before putting the protector on, and in fact, you can barely tell that there's anything on your Kindle at all. Plus, now I am not concerned about scratches on my expensive Voyage investment.
I didn't try anything crazy, like throwing my Voyage down the stairs, but with normal use over the course of the last few months, I've been incredibly happy with my purchase! It even comes with two more of these just in case, but I can't think of any way it could possibly fall off or anything.

Description
It's difficult to apply, primarily because it's so large, so I can't fault the product. Just be aware, you'll be doing some adjusting and may just use the first for practice.
Extremely satisfied with the quality of the product and the seller service.
Good product. Protects the screen quite nicely. Was easy to put on. Would recommend this screen protector
Always use screen protectors on any hand held device. Have never had a problem with scratches on the screen. Would definitely recommend using them on your hand held devices.
I've bought two Kindles before. This is my third. It is the best, small, lighting is great, can read in sunshine or in the dark. The charge stays on so much longer than my first two. What else could you ask for? It's great. Mae Ogino
