I don't think we get the two year warranty in France
The extended warranty the op is talking about is one such that, if anything goes wrong with your reader during 3 years (hardware failure, not if you drop and break it), you bring it back to any FNAC in France and get another one immediately (or a coupon to buy anything you want in the store). You don't have to wait for it to go through the tech service (and see if it can be repaired) first.
Of course, it's pricey and I probably wouldn't bother on a reader, but I (used to) get it every time I bought a laptop because if mine break, I can't wait for a week to get a new one (well, I could now, but as a computer science student...). If you get a good discount on it though, it could be worth it.
