I'm in the UK but I think it works the same here. Your first years warrenty is with Amazon. Square Trade only come into play after the first year so what you are actually paying for is additional years warrenty, either year two or three years. Amazon don't provide a warrenty themselves beyond the first year.

And yes I think you have to buy Square Trades warrenty for a specific 'eligible' kindle and it must be within the first 30 days from when the kindle is registered to your account, or when it's shipped to you in the case of an Amazon purchase.

I always buy a three year warrenty I've found them excellent value and I have claimed on them too.
