Well, like most people have done by going from the Kindle 1 to the Kinde 2, I'll probably keep up with the technology. So I'm not sure it's worth spending more money on an already expensive item when in a year I might be buying a new ereader anyway. You said under the 1-year warranty, it does not cover if the ereader falls and breaks?

I've dropped it without a case from 3 feet onto concrete and it didn't break. Other people have dropped it with a case from 3 feet onto carpet and it did break. It's more likely to break than your cell phone.

I see. Are ereaders in general that fragile, or is it the Kindle 2 in particular?
