I think it's worth it. I have a Sony PMS-700 that I had for a little over a year when the charge port suddenly stopped working (It had loosened I think, with use over time). However, it was then out of warranty and Sony was no longer making the 700. Sony told me it would cost me $100 for them to send me a "refurbished" (read: used) unit. If I had had the Square Trade warranty with damage protection at that time (as I NOW have for my brand-new Nook Color), I would have received a check for at least $250 from them for me to buy a BRAND NEW unit. But...I didn't, so I had to buy my new Nook Color myself....live and learn.
P.S.: The extended warranty from B&N costs significantly more than the Square Trade warranties AND does NOT include accident and damage protection (it only includes manufacturer defects) like the Square Trade warranties do, which will protect you against dropping, water damage, screen cracks and so forth (you can look online for coupons for the ST warranties also, to get up to 20% or 30% off their already low prices).
