I chose "Nope" because the number of DOA (or even "partly DOA") items is very, very low.
I've bought 12 (maybe 13 or 14?) computers since 1981. The only "dead" one was a Commodore 64 in 1981. The replacement was fine. Two years ago I bought a refurbished laptop from Newegg that had only one defect -- the wifi didn't work. Newegg's "customer service" was as bad as Kobo's -- that laptop made two round trips across the US, and was about to make a third when a service rep was able to intercept it. Add in printers, scanners, monitors, etc., and I've been very happy (or lucky).
I have a few ereaders and Android tablets -- not one problem with any of them.
