Regarding Square Trade warranties, for a new ereader (not refurb), you may buy the warranty up to 30 days after the purchase (of the reader) is completed. I chose their warranty because if you make a claim, you are paid money for your unusable device, rather than receiving a refurbished replacement, as is often the case with extended warranties issued through the manufacturer. I bought a 2 year warranty, reasoning that if the reader malfunctioned close to the 2 year mark, another generation might have appeared, and I'd possibly prefer to buy a next gen reader rather than getting a refurbished unit. Of course, this was before I became aware of just how difficult it can be to find a Sony reader. Also, I have since read good things about how rigorously refurbished electronics are tested, so perhaps my avoidance of refurbs was unwarranted.

Yes, I had rather liked the sound of the Square Trade warranty. I was hoping they could be purchased for the refurbs from Sony, so it was bad news that you have to buy a new, full price reader.
I guess I need to call Sony, see if their extended warranty/damage plans can be purchased for the refurb unit and how much their plans are in order to compare. I'm kind of leaning towards just getting a refurb one, and taking real good care of it. But then again, it's not just drops. Both hubby and I often have our Nooks at the table with us, while we sip tea or coffee etc... so there's always danger of a liquid spill, though it hasn't happened yet.
At any rate, all decisions deferred for the moment! Gotta see if BN brings anything interesting out on the 24th.
