Kindle Extended Warranty
I was just reviewing the extended warranty description for the K2, and noticed an interesting disclaimer. It says: "Full refund allowed within 60-days (provided there has been no claim activity), prorated refund allowed after 60-days. "
What does "prorated" mean in this case? If my K2 breaks after 1 year, 11 months, will I end up paying $287 to get it replaced? If so, that is the worst warranty ever and I'm sorry I bought it. |

This is a very good question, but is probably best answered by the Amazon kindle support people themselves....go here, click on the "contact me" link at the left, sign in to your account and enter your phone number. someone will call you back within minutes.

Ahh - that makes more sense. If that's the case, I'm surprised at the negative comments received by people on the Amazon customer reviews. Most extended warranties are "no returns allowed" on the warranty itself.

My understanding was if you register it, you receive 1 more year of warranty, isn't it?

lovemov: yes, you are correct. Plus you receive 1 free replacement of the kindle if you break it by dropping it, etc. My question was regarding the "prorated" clause of that extended warranty, though.

My guess is say "hmm, you aren't authorize to use the Kindle outside of the US anyway, so go ahead and send it to us and we'll say 'thank you have a nice day'"
