Understandable. Still seems a steep price.

Here in the US, I can buy a costco squaretrade warranty for $89 to cover any TV over $1000. That seems completely reasonable, and it's what many people over avsforum (audio video science) buy for multi thousand dollar TV sets. £75 to cover £200 is a tough one for me to bite.

Of course now I've jinxed myself and will promptly break my next kindle :/
