Kindle scribe: can A glass screen protector cause pages to jump erratically?
So I've owned a Kindle scribe for almost 2 months now and I had to return the first one as when I change page, 25% of the time it would jump by 10 to 20 pages either way, which meant I'd have to fiddle around trying to find the Part Which is very irritating
So After a few weeks I contacted Amazon and they replaced it under warranty but the new one is still doing similar action Sporadically so I'm starting to think maybe The tempered glass screen protector that I have on it could be the Reason Does anyone think this could be the cause? Does anyone experience similar jumping of pages when they have a screen protector on? I know I can just take it off and test it But don't want to if it won't make a difference Last edited by Pw23; 09-10-2024 at 06:25 AM. |

I remember from your previous post that this indeed seemed like an isolated issue on your side; if your new device does the same thing as the previous one, then your assumption that this is caused by the screen protector could very well be correct. Then again, I do not use a screen protector so I cannot confirm this.
At any rate it does somewhat sound like a similar effect to touching a phone screen with wet fingers, where the device can register those touches in random ways (although I was not able to reproduce this on my Scribe). Perhaps the corrugated, paper-like surface of the Scribe does not lend itself well to being covered by a flat glass panel? |

The Scribe surface should act like paper. A screen protector is unnecessary. And yes, it can cause this problems.
For many many years I use readers from Sony, Kobo and Amazon. Never a reader had problems with the unprotected screen. They all had or have a case/sleeve for transportation, that's enough for their safety. Additionally I have a reMarkable 2, also with an unprotected screen (but with a Folio sleeve). I use two different pens, an original reMarkable pen and another from Lamy. The screen looks clean as at the beginning. |

Try it without the glass to see if it still does this, but yeah, I think it may be the issue with touch panel that they use. It's very sensitive since it can detect the amount of pressure from the pen. I found a weird case where it's skipping pages as well. If Scribe is leaning backwards or is face down when I'm using a pen, it'll jump up to two pages when tapped in a turn page area, from time to time. Finger tap works, gesture move pages works, it'll only be a problem when screen is taped with a pen. Cheap wireless page turner also exhibits no problems, so I'd recommend trying it out, if you're still keen on using a glass cover.
