Well, that comes out to about an expectation of an 18% chance of breaking it in 2 years. I also expect to replace my Kindle 2 with a Kindle 3 in the next 2-5 years. So it makes sense for me to get the extended warranty in the meantime so I don't have to pay for a Kindle 2 twice in that time period.
Interesting quote. How did you come by your percentage?

I don't expect to replace my K1's until they die a decent natural death. So I take very very good care of them.

My phones, on the other hand.........they like to swim.
