Short answer : Probably not.
Device value - 350 dollars (To you, not the resale value. I am assuming if someone took your device and gave you the money back you'd buy another)
In 2 years time...
Worn buttons that don't always work?
Some of the little charged electronic ink capsules aren't as active as they used to be, meaning less contrast?
Scrapes and damage around the edges?
The case you paid for now, that costs 50 dollars to replace is worn too.
Plus the device will have dropped in price - perhaps it's 200 dollars then?
There will be new devices.
There may even be a revision of the electronic ink screen itself. It may have more contrast.
New devices may do new stuff.
Device value in 2 years time - 100 dollars.
Cost of policy : 60
Excess on policy : 25
Postage costs : 15
Total cost if you have to make a claim 100 dollars.
Average value of product during insurance term : 450/2= 225 dollars.
There's severe limits on the policy as well. You're limited to 1 claim. That's actually not that bad. If you have to make that claim you won't regret the insurance, and it'll have served it's purpose.
The big limit I see is that it makes absolutely zero provision for faults. If the device is faulty outside of a year? You're out of luck.
What's unknown is the devices propensity to get broken. And your own propensity to break it.
There's a poll in the Iliad section of these forums about Iliad screens breaking - and the results are alarming. I was going to create the same poll here, but read your thread first.
