Also remember that some credit cards (American Express) extend manufacturer warranties. Doesn't cover accidental damage but it does cover defects and faulty equipment.
The screen on my K2 went wonky after about 17 months. I filed a claim online and faxed them a copy of my receipt and the Amazon warranty page. A month later they credited my American Express account for $359, even though the price of a new Kindle by then was $189.
Not a bad deal.
