ok - let me re-group/ recap ... on what others have said & on what I want to buy
whether i get a kindle or Kobo to give as a gift is still undecided but whichever I buy , I do want cover for accidental screen damage.
revisiting John lewis i see this
2 year guarantee included
2 years' Added Care for your technology (accidental damage cover) - £10.00
https://www.johnlewis.com/kobo-aura-...wi-fi/p3097682
not quite as posted above but suits me, I pay £10 more and for 2 years I am fully covered against my own or other's carelessness
I'd like to read the claims process, but that's a nice to have.
So now to check Kindle paperwhite at JL
same deal - [pay only £10 extra
I think I will bounce that back to amazon for their comments

the dilemma will be if amazon knock £20 of the kindles on black friday, like they did last year- unless JL will go for a price match on the day...
