Probably not, but I ain't gonna recharge it that many times in 2 years. Although not covered under warranty, Amazon itself doesn't expect you to have to replace your Kindle 2 battery every 2 years, either.
Look, let's look at it a different way: if the battery is not holding sufficient charge, there's no way for the consumer to know if it's a 'normal' battery cycle problem, a 'defective' battery, or faulty electronics elsewhere in the device. And Service Net is not going to do repairs, either. All they do is get a replacement from Amazon and swap. So the only way they care is if Amazon then turned around and dinged Service Net for it. And why would they? If Amazon decides it's just the battery, it's easy enough for them to replace it and use it for further refurbishment needs.
If for some bizarre reason Service Net doesn't accept it as faulty, I can just as easily "drop" it right then and there and get a full replacement if I haven't already used that excuse up.
But if it makes y'all feel better to think that you're smarter than the people are getting ripped off by the extended warranty, go right ahead. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy one.
