Am real close to pulling the trigger on a current Kindle Paperwhite. Also in serious consideration is the purchase of an extended warranty, which of course is listed on the Paperwhite product page in two as well as three-year increments.

I am also aware of Square Trade's presence on Amazon, their favorable customer rating and competitive pricing; their 3-year warranty is less expensive than Amazon's 2-year warranty.

What I haven't been able to discover from the Amazon Kindle forums is of any discernible, meaningful differences between the two, sufficient enough to influence a buying decision.

I realize that the Amazon offering must be made at the time of purchase. Is that also true for Square Trade?

What's been your past experience with either?
