I'm not planning to bother with the extended warranty. My husband and I have never either broken a portable device or had one stop working during the first two years that we've had it. I'd rather put that money towards a really good quality, durable case.

If something tragic and unexpected does happen to my Kindle, I'm sure I'll hate the repair or replacement cost. But even then I don't seriously see myself wishing that I'd have bought the warranty. The repair cost is more expensive than the warranty, but even replacing a Kindle 2 at it's current price would cost considerably less than the money we've saved over the years by never paying for an extended warranty on new gadgets.
