That is complete coverage for 99% of problems it might encur for 4 years. And any problems and you just walk into Sam's and they hand you a new one or that year's equivalent. Done. I don't think you can't beat it and no way would I buy a device like this without an extended warranty.
The iPod Touch is an excellent device for all sorts of things (hard to beat it as a portable video player) but, to be honest, there are far better portable devices if you want a bookreader - easier to use, far cheaper, and giving you access to a much wider range of eBook formats. Any Pocket PC or Palm machine, for example.
