The Squaretrade warranty also covers replacements done by the manufacturer. So if you did return your Kindle through Amazon and the replacement is a refurbish unit. It's still covered. If later down the road it breaks or you accidental break it and it can't be fixed they will send you a check or paypal you the full price you paid and you can buy a new one. |
Squaretrade is definitely the way to go if you are going to get the warranty. There is usually discount code floating around... I don't remember what % off my code was, but when I bought my kindle, I got the 3 year extended warranty with accidental damage protection for $26. That's $14 less than Amazon's and it includes and extra year and 3 years of ADP.
I can also see the point of not getting one. If nothings goes wrong then you just spent $30-$40 for nothing other than peace of mind. However, for me $26 was worth it for peace of mind.
You just have to decide if it is worth it to you, and for me it is depending on the device and the cost of the device. I don't get warranties for all my devices, just a couple of the devices I think the risk is higher on (iPad, Digital Camera, and Kindle).
