Ok here is my dilemma. I recently got a Nookcolor for Christmas. The first two Nooks had screen problems so I returned them. The one that I have now is working fine. I am over the top happy with it, and use it a lot for reading books and magazines. It is an amazing little device. I even took it to Disney World with me so I could read at night. I placed it inside a ziplock to avoid any contact with water or anything else.
I am concerned about having issues in the long run, since it is an electrical device and with three children under the age of ten using it as well, It might get dropped and no more nook.

Ugh, the unthinkable..LOL.
Its expensive so shelling out 250 for a new one is not easy. I think the protection plan is 64 bucks and covers it for one year. Is it worth it? The plan if you read the policy details, if you need a nook replaced, it has to be shipped to BN and they will either give you a new or pre-certified nookcolor. I have issues with that, for the 64 dollars, if it does need to be replaced, that they replace it with a new nook, nook a fixed one. How many of you have opted to get the protection plan any why, and those that decided against it, why didnt you get the plan.

in advance for your responses.
